Catching up

Currently I've been working on getting 3 years worth of work all organized, and if possible, displayed.  That took most of December, and it was a welcomed distraction since I wasn't feeling up to creating new works.  Last year was quite full, having exhibited in 7 exhibitions, apart from the work related to the studio space.

One notable point from last year's work was that I worked in sculpture for the first time since 4-5 years.  these structures, exhibited at Xifer exhibition in Sliema, may lead to some large scale sculptures which I plan to work on soon.






So far this year, I am being tougher on myself, and I have been working at a steady rate, producing works and sketches that I am quite proud of.  Here is a detail from one of the new works, entitled "Flat Chests are more Fun".


Things are going smooth at the open studio at Xarolla Windmill in Zurrieq, where are having constant visits by friends and people interested in the arts.  We have teamed up under the name of X242, which is made up of Sabrina Calleja Jackson, Sarah Mamo, Sarah Maria Scicluna, Andrea Zerafa and myself.  At the moment, Gabriel Buttigieg is our guest artist at the space.
