The Mimic
Posted by: irninology on: October 12, 2009
Today marks the first day of my website for The Mimic. It’s something I’ve been working on for about a month now and is pretty much my self-proclaimed initiation into geekdom! I now know far more about web design and development than I ever thought I’d care to! But I must admit, it’s probably one of my bigger achievements for the year…
I’ve also set up a twitter for The Mimic and a Facebook fan page, if you want to stay posted on all things Mimic! In the coming weeks, there will be more videos, competitions, Mimic merchandise, and of course, daily quotes from the Mimic
EDIT: the website is now officially Internet Explorer friendly 
Re.Production
Posted by: irninology on: October 5, 2009
Photographs from You Are A Mimic are going to be featured in a group show opening tomorrow night, yay! I saw the gallery space today for the first time and was completely impressed at how nice it was.
This is the statement released by the curator about Re.Production.
“Isn’t life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?” – Andy Warhol
Printmaking is an ancient form of art making. From text to imaging we can thank this practice for increasing the accessibility of information and education globally. Even since Andy Warhol’s Factory the integrity of artwork that is reproducible is still not held in the same regard as one that is a “one off”. Therefore Polymorph Art Gallery is providing a platform for contemporary artists who make work that can be reproduced in aim to dispel such myths.
Hand prints like screen, lino, mono and stencils change slightly with each edition, and like Chinese whispers, may end up completely different from the original. Photographic print making can vary from the darkroom, to the digital printer, to the photocopier. Even sculptors who work with moulding and casting can be considered print makers, producing copies of objects that they have translated artistically.
Opening night is on Tuesday 6th October, 7.30-9pm and the gallery details are as follows:

Level 1 7/82 Enmore Rd,
Newtown, Australia 2042
Tues + Wed: 11am – 7pm
Thurs, Fri + Sat: 11am – 8pm
Sunday: 12noon – 6pm
TINA Sunday Fair
Posted by: irninology on: October 2, 2009
This Is Not Art: a supercharged convergence of writers, performers, thinkers, independent musicians and industry, creative researchers, electronic artists, dilettantes, and DIY culture makers.
The Sunday Fair is one of the highlight events, providing an opportunity for emerging and established artists and makers to show their works, network with like-minded people, and learn and be inspired by the works of others. It’s an incredible marketplace of art and ideas. One-off artworks, and small-run publishing – often available for sale from the artists themselves, are just some of the wonderful goodies you’ll find. And of course a huge range of zines.
This year the Market will be held at “Ghetto Town” the amazing new space right on the top of King St Car Park. The car park is located on the corner of King Street and Thorn Street and pedestrian access is also available via lift which is accessed by Laing Street (off Morgan and Thorn) which runs parallel to the mall. The ocean vista views are phenomenal!
The Sunday Fair will be running from 12noon till 5pm.
I am SO excited to be heading to Newcastle this weekend for the This Is Not Art Sunday Zine Fair… I’ll be launching my first 3 zines…
along with a bunch of new stuff I’ve been making… more floral headbands, some leather and lace headbands and a his/hers series.
Please come by and say hi, (this applies especially to my resident Newcastle friends who I miss dearly and would love to see!)

field of dreams

An electric energy, a plethora of characters, a shanty town, eclecticity of tunes, blue skies, fields of dreams. Pure bliss.
These photographs were taken at the Great Escape Festival, 2006. It will go down as one of my favourite festivals of all time.

I can’t decide on which colour scheme I like better, that of the photos in the last post, or this one. But either way, I’m SO in love with this meadow!!
