24.01.2022 When you get out into the big, wide, open country, wonderful 'Walker Evans' moments present themselves.....

21.01.2022 More tributes to Walker Evan's...

17.01.2022 My latest work is underway, a homage to our dear, late Apollo. Some more refinements required, but he's arriving gradually.

14.01.2022 Latest Oil on Canvas work about Sustainability: "H2O 2021". Reworking an old inherited seascape to make this... semiotic piece.... lockdown bliss starts here today

09.01.2022 Be sure to drop by!

09.01.2022 My Nautical Pair, 'Sextant' and 'Cardinal Markers' are finally finished on my late father's birthday (inspired by him) and have been entered into the Wangi Dobell Art Prize opening 5 June. I wonder if the local Seadogs will like them?

07.01.2022 Mmm, an exercise in using as much colour as possible- not my usual aim.... not sure if I love it or hate it? One slightly pushed more than the other.... went too far?

06.01.2022 Here's my "Waste to Art" submission for this years Exhibition run by Lake Macquarie City Councils Sustainability unit. Titled "Wheelie Waste", the bicycle tyres were salvaged from our local roadside bulk waste collect in August. Not an easy wrangle this one, with the tyres all slightly different sizes, we had to wrestle them into something shapely. Re-cycle, Re-use, Re-purpose.....

04.01.2022 Margrete's sculpture utilises bicycle wheels that were removed off old bikes before they were collected by bulk waste collection in August 2020. The wheels form... a sphere, representing the waste recycling - reuse - repurpose cycle. See Margrete's work by visiting the Lake Mac Waste to Art exhibition at the Swansea SEEN space (Swansea Library). Open 7 days a week between 10am and 2pm until 13th December 2020.

02.01.2022 New 2020 Work: "When Lost at Sea....(use a Sextant!)". Oil on board, framed. When Lost at Sea.... relates to the theme of the Lake Art Prize, "Where there is water..." in a number of ways. 2020 has been a tumultuous year, with many struggling from the effects of drought, bushfires, floods, then the World Pandemic of Covid 19. If one was sailing at sea, the oceans would be very difficult to captain- one moment calm, then wild, then soft and balmy, next an epic, riotous storm... front..... one could easily lose their way. "When Lost at Sea..." depicts the unpredictable nature of th6e sea, a metaphor for life in 2020. With waters churning, wild, at other times delicate and gentle, knowing which way is up or what direction one is moving towards, can become very difficult to navigate. Semiotic nautical flags within the artwork, signal "Race Abandoned", "Race Postponed" and "Protest"- symbols of how many people may be feeling, amid the pandemic that's changing ours lives irreversibly. Many people around the world, including in our own backyard, are currently suffering similar circumstances feeling lost or directionless, confused, anxious, exposed to conditions outside of ones control. Looking through an old Danish Sailing Book of my late fathers, I came across a drawing of a Sextant: not a raunchy tool as the name suggests, but a tool of navigation used traditionally by sailors when circumnavigating the oceans. The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an astronomical object (the stars) and the horizon for the purposes of celestial navigation. Traversing the world at the moment, a Sextant could come in very handy- not relying on modern technology but an instrument used for 100s of years to help find ones way. So, next time, 'when lost at Sea..... use a Sextant to learn your bearings. See more
