Adore - opening

Thank you so much for coming to the exhibition opening at Bird's Gallery earlier this week!

It was amazing to see many new as well as familiar faces.

Thank you so much also to the gallery owner and artist Brigita La made such a lovely space and turn this opening into a great event!

Another special thank you to Jazmina Cininas, artist and my ex-lecturer at RMIT University, who made a sweet and warm speech to open my exhibition. 

She is in fact my first teacher who showed me the inky world of printmaking in TAFE back in 2004. 

I then followed her to do my Bachelor of Fine Art in printmaking where she moved from TAFE.

It was fun to listen to her when she read my work assessment written by her as well as her first impression on me.

Thank you so much to everyone! It's become such an unforgettable event for me.

Lidth's Jay

Lidth's Jay, 2013, etching and aquatint

Lidth's Jay, also known as Amami Jay is a bird native to Amami islands in Japan.

Amami islands are home to some rare and endangered species like this bird and Amami rabbit.

I drew this bird at National Nature and Science Museum in Tokyo in snowy January this year.

First thing I noticed was the colour of its feathers. 

It changes its blue hue with light - purply blue on one angle but peacock blue on the other angle and so on - thus the name of this bird in Japanese Rurikakesu - Ruri is the colour of lapis lazuli.

The plants on this image is a mixture of my drawings in the sketchbook - some are drawn from life in New Zealand, some are native plants to Amami Islands drawn from photos - I've never been there before.

This Lidth's Jay will be exhibited at Bird's Gallery from 23 April as part of my solo show called Adore.

More information is coming soon!
