Charity Art Auction

Kim Schoenberger is organising a charity art auction as part of Australia's Biggest Morning Tea - a fundraiser for cancer. It will be held at Main Street Gallery in Montville at 10am on Thursday 27th May 2010 and the theme is Tea.

Both Barry and I have been invited to donate works; and whilst Barry worked out what he would do and just did it, I have been through about four possibilities and am slowly firming up. Even once I decided what I would use as the basis for my book; I have gone down four or five different paths with what to do and how to represent it.

As ever with me, pieces either appear immediately and are expressed straightaway; or I cogitate and ponder on them for weeks and sometimes months before settling on an option. Sometimes its revolution; sometimes its evolution.

Here is what I have decided to work with. Edith-Ann discovered it a car boot sale and bought it for us. As soon as I saw it I wanted it! So here is the beginning... a teapot that has been through fire.
