hello again
am thinking about changing the scale of my project, after seeing the space last night I think a large thing will be too cumbersome, am looking at postcard imagery at the moment. Perhaps something to do with frozen moments in time through postcard worlds. I've collected lots from Japan and may use these in some way, also the idea of just using whats around is great as then there is no cost! (Helen)

What is next for Hope?
Here is a short animation that was thrown together for Even Books Miranda July exhibition. I will be creating a new adventure for Hope for my Diorama Drama project. At Peats Ridge Festival I was inspired by an installation that comprised of a set of drawers, peepholes and little scenes within. I hope to fuse my ideas together and develop a concept to post later this week.
I love the poster Elliott, the layout, shapes and typeface are wonderful ;)
Cheers
Becky

Martha 'Diorama' Stewart
- "Martha composed [her] picture vertically". Like any professional, Martha likes to change-it-up where she can.
- "Use a circle cutter to cut a hole in the top of the box. This lets in light, much like a spotlight". That's a technique I won't be shying from!
- "Martha embellished her diorama with an owl, bear, mushrooms, and a bird." And how!

Artist and Designer Callout
As part of The Glorious Undead’s anticipated 2009 art festival, Diorama Drama invites you to create the microcosm of your dreams!
In a low-fi salute to craft revivals, participants are asked to create a snapshot of a new world.
Hosted at Somedays Gallery*, the available wall-space space will be divided into partitioned areas offering artists and designers a realm to create a new space. Works can be serious or satirical, elevating or depressing. The project may investigate unrequited futures or unmade pasts. It’s up to you. Sound and video work is welcomed too and there will be opportunities for performance artists to show at the opening. You even wish to create a context for existing works. All these aspects can be negotiated with the curator.
But oh, the possibilities…
The Diorama Drama exhibition will run for the whole month of February with the opening event on February 18th.
*Somedays Gallery is a space which supports emerging local artists. The gallery is a relaxed space which shares its home with the Somedays Store, a Scandinavian fashion house. The large loft style space sports white gallery walls with plenty of natural light. The perfect location for Diorama Drama.
