Studio Shots from Hel

Thought you might like that title Hele, given our recent conversation about why your name shouldn't be shortened and in light of your recent blog troubles.

Here are the images from Hel: Some of our teatowels on our studio line-up, lovingly adorned with all manner of artistic embellishment or intervention...



Those luscious lips belong to Clifton Bieundurry, a souvenir teatowel from a NOMAD (click on link to see) exhibition dinner in New York. The photograph was taken of Cliffy by photographer Russell James. In the Nomad exhibition Cliffy imparts a layer of traditional Bieundurry-style Kimberley dot painting over Rusty's photographs on a massive scale. On the teatowel, Virginia - so inspired by Mr Bieundurry - has domesticated Cliffy's dots (interpreted here as buttons) forming the word 'c l e a n s e' in historical reference to ugly past policies brushed under the carpet. Not to forget the role of the teatowel - wet, dry, wet, dry =  cleanliness is next to Godliness!



FROM THE V.C. ARCHIVES: Here you can see a sample of  Leonardo DaVinci's Vitruvian Man Virginia Da Cunningham's Vitruvian Bratz doll sacred tea towel manuscript. Naturally she is in absolute perfect proportion - no feet to run away, massive head to hold such intellectual ponderings as what one might wear to the mall tomorrow (what else is there to ponder in life????) AND not to mention the zones of special importance neatly squared away for future slut-virginity fetishizers. NOTE: she is neatly encapsulated (one might say 'packaged') in the egg, ready to hatch fully formed and is celebrated in accompanying mirror-left script to the chorus of our staunch radical feminist lady Gaga 'I wanna take a ride on your disco stick'.
Germaine Greer would be proud of this Female Eunuch. Virginia thinks it is quite a spectacularly cunning stunt disguised as 'empowerment' especially since this limited edition archival tea towel manuscript is used in the rare and sacred ritual of dish-wiping.

It didn't!!!

Where oh where is the photo uploading symbol? Is there anyone out there who can tell me. I have photos waiting to go and no where to send them!

UP LOADING PICTURES

Why does everything to do with computer technology have to be so difficult with a 60 year old brain!! I can't see the photo symbol on my toolbar! Perhaps if I post then it will appear???????????????????????????

TEAT OWLING

I heard a really lousy joke the other day and I think I will treat you all to it.
here goes:

WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON OWL IN AUSTRALIA?

THE TEAT (OWL)

he he he he he......................told you it was lousy!


My teat owls are coming along quite quickly now. I have finished 33 of my (100) share of Virginia's 300. It is quite challenging doing 100 small art works in such a short time and also a challenge working on the other virginia's designs. With my own I know where I am coming from (then again, not always) but with the others my brain has to travel to distant places not known before. Always tricky!!
