Which Way?
Well we are well through this round being nine of twelve, and I have based the whole round building a series of works with similar backgrounds and changing symbols. At this point I am wondering if I should continue or completely change what I am doing? Well as I thought
Rattling Around
Loose change is often rattling around in your pocket, inconvenient to carry and not very useful. In New Zealand we have really adapted to paying by card or watch or phone. Therefore you often don’t have the need for loose change. However I also look at the prompt of loose
Water, Water and more water
My country is full of water and surrounded by water with the three main islands separated by water. There is so much scenic beauty that I could concentrate on that or I could look at the other word in this rounds prompt of “treading water”. What does this mean with

What is our next challenge?
Given our overall theme is ‘Change’ I was looking for a topic that had wide range appeal. I looked on my desk at work and saw my water bottle and long life coffee mug and it hit me! What has changed? Well my habits have changed and that is the
Relationships
Continuing on with my series its interesting to see how the colour is changing from piece to piece. Each piece is also getting narrower at this point until 9 inches wide then I will begin enlarging them back to a full 24 inches wide. It will be interesting to see
Restoration or not?
Initially when I think of the prompt “restoration” I think of Governor Greys mansion which I visited last year and that it has been fully restored to what it was like back in that day in the 1800’s when it was first built. Its easy to think of the restoration
