The Beast Beside Us

Wow, we opened last night and had a massive turn out!

Show is beautifully put together by lovely Jeanne & Jenny, and has a fabulous variety of artists involved - including drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and prints of animal related imagery!

I had 3 works in this show, 'Majesty', 'Grey' and 'Kodiak', and we are in Gallery 2. The show is on now until the 27th. Red Gallery (157 St Georges Rd, Fitzroy Nth: open Wed - Sat, 11-5pm. : )

All my work framed in a box frame (with oak), and i honestly think spending the extra $$ was worth it. Framed by Forman Picture Framing who have been so supportive to me!

People think art show openings are super chill but i always feel stressed watching people wander through looking/pointing at everything and then checking the price! (Free wine doesn't help)

(Semi dodgy as i just ripped it off my instagram)

(sorry)

(You can follow me there for more fun times on ig but @emmma.morgan)

(Yay!)

Better late than never

Wow i haven't posted on here in so long! So much has happened.
I will try to update more often with my arty adventures + tips and tricks i've learnt along the way. Starting out is hard. I think it will be fun to document everything as i go!

I'm on Facebook & Instagram (and now starting a Pinterest board!) So that's really where i've been. Sort of.

MOVING ALONG.

I am in a group show, opening this week.

'The Beast Beside Us' 
Red Gallery: 157 St Georges Rd, Fitzroy North.

This mini series is a further exploration of how people depict certain animals in popular culture - it was something i was looking at years ago back at Uni (with particular interest in the wolf - a creature that has always scared me a little! But really this fear is due to the way i've been exposed to the idea of wolves and werewolves and such - you see what i'm getting at??). It's about trying to remove the ruthless man-eater stigma, as well as the charming courageous, wondrous thing (although i have less of an issue with this portrayal, clearly) - I think it's so important in getting people to understand and care for animals better.

It's all very interesting to me though.

Anyway, opens at 6pm. Come see if you're around!
