The doe will hide each fawn in a different place. They are camouflaged by spots on their backs. They are always looking, listening and smelling for danger. The background is a detail from a watercolour landscape I saw at the nearby #Hillhouse by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Later in life he gave up architecture and focused on watercolour painting. He lived and painted at Port Vendres, a fishing village on the vermillion coast in France - a special place for my family and friends. I gifted this work to Jordi Roca in Girona for his son Queralt to play with and as thanks for his contribution to recycled glass. Later in September 2019 so many images of deer appeared to me - at the Nous les Arbes at Cartier Foundation and the Pre History show at the Pompidou Centre #thankswiki #camouflage #materialimmaterial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54486d13e4b02ed058b5f7af/1570666642301-2Q0ZTQ3EYVO1QWCKZCO5/fullsizeoutput_da8b.jpeg Projects - Cebola des Figures, Watercolour, Catalonia, 2019 These Spanish onions local to Girona were soft pink and sweet, luminous and translucent layers of flesh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54486d13e4b02ed058b5f7af/1570682848879-WUHVEKFWNTI6005FHR3W/Screen+Shot+2019-10-10+at+3.43.58+pm.png Projects - Rocco the Social Starter - an Emerging Creative Social Practice of Sourdough This is the story of the grace notes of my recent sabbatical. One cold Sunday morning when I was having breakfast at my local Italian cafe at my local Italian cafe, the baker told me he was leaving the next day. I was a sad because I really enjoyed his bread, it was clearly baked with love and care. He offered me some of his starter after hearing my troubles getting my own going. I resisted, wanting to conqueur the process, then after some gentle prodding I acquiesced and took some home with simple instructions. Sourdough starters usually have names, mine is Rocco after the cafe. I went on to produce several week baked loaves. I shared the starter with my brother who has baked some successful loaves since then. I also shared some with my friend Marina, she is having a go too. Its daunting to think of spending the time tending the bread for some people, but my bread often comes in the car with me, we have taken rocco to a family Sunday lunch, with great results. Rocco is a social starter. I decided to dry out Rocco and take them on my sabbatical, aiming to bake a loaf at each place I visited if conditions allowed. Paris - a poor attempt, on my own, no dutch oven, jet lag and baking, not a good idea. Beverwijk, NL , a better attempt in the company of Esther my host and her partner, I baked it for her birthday which was during my stay. They were so amazed and loved the scent the bread brought to their home, and the taste of true sourdough. Rocco rested and rose on my lap as I typed my paper for Scotland . I made sandwiches for the Eurostar trip and carried Rocco to the Uk where I used the bread all the next week. Shrewsbury, USA I visited my sister for a weekend and we baked. Her husband is a chef but rarely dabbles in bread. Rocco came to the hairdressers with us, so we didn’t miss out on quality time. The following weekend was a holiday and I shared the bread with a family from New Jersey, Linda and Tom who always wanted to make bread, well Tom really really did anyway. They were so happy with their result. Girona, I made another Catalan yeast infused Rocco on my own, the loves were a gift for my artist friend Jenny Trinks. On of my final stops in France was a weekend in Boutenac. We had fresh bread every morning, However after Andre Bleuze my host and his wife Danielle offered me their home grown fig jam, I offered to take up their enthusiastic request to show them how to make sourdough, using my last flakes of dried rocco starter ( I left some in the fridge at home don’t worry). Andre sent me the image of is conquest - it was great. I relayed this story to my other favourite baker, Shady and his wife Rose at Poiok bakery in Pyrmont. He told me he thought it was a nice story. So this social starter idea - it seems to have elements of my creative practice emerging, and Im not alone … The Argentinian artist Julieta García Vazquez develops collective projects that respond to specific contexts, be they social, urban or environmental. She imagines actions and collaborations that oscillate between the need to respond to a situation and the possibility of allowing poetry and utopias to emerge. Preserve, transmit, reactivate and imagine are at the origin of each project thought collectively, and bringing together for example the inhabitants of a neighborhood, a socio-professional category or the fringe of a given population. In the work of Julieta García Vazquez, the collaborative form is a support for reflection on society, its organization and its possibilities. In 2005 she co-founded the Rosa Chancho artists' collective and the exhibition space of the same name based in Buenos Aires. Through his multiple interventions and experiments, the group questions the forms of the exhibition, the fields of creation and collective action. In her personal work, Julieta García Vazquez stands out from the format of the exhibition and builds her research from meetings and exchanges. If projects she initiates sometimes result in documents or objects, her artistic practice develops in the margins of any form of materiality and representation. On the occasion of his residence SAM ART Projects, the artist designs a collaborative project based on bread. In association with bakers and poets, she proposes time mixing breadmaking and a reflection on its symbols, its history and its issues in echo with current issues.

This concentric clutch of glass tubes, filled with ink, gradually fade from opaque back to clear. The precarious rubber band - just holding it all together. The whole is bathed in the strong and constant light of promise. The work is developed in the context of contemporary sculpture, with a specific focus on a conceptual approach, as well as a sustainable one. The tradition of conceptual art deals with materials and processes manipulated by the artist, often as in this case to express an idea. The work explores the potential for material arrangements, to express a specific emotion. The work looks at how it is possible to ameliorate an issue to a positive conclusion, through discipline and structure.   The object assembly is driven in part by a commitment to use a minimum of materials and energy. The aim of this work is to express the pain and potential of human suffering in a visual and material fashion, which offers a non verbal, visceral and emotional connection with the viewer using the wounded tint of the coloured ink, the controlled and yet constricted rubber band, and the watery tearful vials of glass that the band encompasses. The work combines a unique set of materials and processes, including the faded gradations of the ink and the construction of the large rubber band, all of which are able to be fully recycled into new works with no damage or alteration to the components.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54486d13e4b02ed058b5f7af/1421894780823-7BYFFXIQ5M3NQECVW6AY/image-asset.jpeg Projects - Light Louvre Grip Jane Gavan, Light louvre grip 2013 Dimensions Variable Glass louvre windows, CNC cut vinyl decals, LED lights, Thin plastic film.   Light Louvre Grip explores rhythm and movement suggested by graphic elements in combination with site specific materials and objects.

In the filed of sculpture and object design, there is need to explore more sustainable material responses to creative concepts.   The work focuses on an assemblage of found modular components of light and thin lab glass that form units of vessels that can in turn combine with rubber bands to form a larger series of vessel forms. Each ‘tower’ of glass can be off set and hence change shape with ease while maintaining a stable form. This work seeks to scaffold an approach to designing and making objects that shows the potential for minimal energy and material production, as well as a fully recyclable material outcome. The work is minimal as well as functional, and represents an innovative challenge to glass forms produced using blown and cast processes that require large amounts of heat and material to produce. Shanghai Mille Fiore was included in the 30/30 exhibitions at the Glass Artist Gallery, which is one of the oldest and most prominent glass Galleries in Australia. The gallery has an international reputation, which is evidenced by their representation by invitation in several international collectable art object fairs such as Collect in London and SOFA Chicago. Ms Cahill selected 30 artists to represent the history of the Gallery since it’s opening in the 1970s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54486d13e4b02ed058b5f7af/1421285739128-1UL9M1SO32RYXLMBGW6Z/IMG_4707.jpg Projects http://www.janegavan.com/gas-online-conference-2020 daily 0.75 2020-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54486d13e4b02ed058b5f7af/1590097326338-JM9R211CX2K3JPMDRFRN/image-asset.jpeg GAS Online Conference 2020 - Dr. Jane Gavan: Alt_Gather Check out all the treasures and generous resources offered by the Glass Art Society this year as it moves online.
