Yellow!


  Fat Blossom, is in a hiatus of domestic sprucing.  My sprucing is effective in the areas of common garden variety household management...   and most output of the artistic variety around here is delayed.  Wintery

  However 2012 has brought with it a number of artistic achievements for me, and The Girls which was staged at the beginning of the year was a signatory piece in making Public Art under pressure with no capital.

  You can check out images and info on The Girls by following this link:  LINK
Or just go over to the The Girls Backstage blog:  THE GIRLS Blog

At the end of last year the Ayrlies documentary project was completed at a total of about 240 finished minutes of footage representing chapters of the garden, in documentary style.  This was an extraordinary learning curve in many ways, apart from learning about the ins and outs of maintaining a huge established garden.  Click on the link over to the right to see a pictorial account of the Ayrlies work.

  I have several personal writing projects underway, and I am teaching writing this year, and hoping to reinstate voice classes perhaps along with the warmer weather.  Commissions and collaborative pieces and collections with other people, and always open to having a cuppa to discuss a job proposal of collaborative work.   I'm also looking forward to seeing some poems in print in the next Landfall magazine.

  I have made my performance poem from 2006 Opus, available as this small chapbook with an oil relief print on the cover.  They are a limited edition of 100.

  But most of all, I am kept on my toes being the mother of a nearly five year old, and I'm aware that I want to make the most of all the precious time I have with him while he's little.  Looking forward to the oncoming warmer seasons of 2012 in Auckland.

  Arohanui,

Gen.
