New artworks (and necklaces) in progress!

2011 has been a very productive year for me so far - I've made 10 or so new necklaces (available from etsy online and made. creative space in Toowoomba) and started on some new painted paper works. These paintings are my current priority - primarily for my upcoming solo show 'sky is falling' at the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery. I will definitely upload some photos (and the official invite) soon.

I've also been working on some side-project drawings and collaborative zine works, and am going to be involved in a couple of group exhibitions at made.

The first of these opens this Friday night 6:30 - 9:30 pm, and features 2 of my smaller painted paper works, along with works by Joeli Eastell, Chelsie Luck, Elysha Gould and Miranda Sampson, among others. The opening is any-costume-themed (optional) and promises to be a fun night.

As always, stay tuned for more news and photographs, and let me know if you have any questions or comments.

HAPPY NEW YE[ART]

After an eventful few weeks of Christmas with family + friends, I am looking forward to making a fresh start in 2011 with some new artworks. After finishing my honours degree in 2010 (which was largely directed towards theory and my dissertation topic 'The Place of Skill in Contemporary Australian Art'), I will hopefully be focussing more time on the practical side of my practice this year, and on getting more exposure in exhibitions.

I am having an exhibition at the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery from May to June, so I will soon be making paper works for that. My proposal for the exhibition was based on the title 'sky is falling', so while I will be creating similar visuals to my previous works, I will also focussing on more apocalyptic themes.

I also hope to extend my ceramic works this year, looking at different sized forms and pushing the boundaries of their presentation, while still maintaining the implied dialogue and the physical relationships between the forms that are inherent to their meaning and to the viewer's interpretation.

Watch this space (along with my facebook fan page) for my experiments, ideas and new works. Also, if you are interested in purchasing any of my ceramic necklace pieces, feel free to visit my etsy page. One day soon I will also be updating my page with non-necklace artworks for purchase.
Alternatively, you can alway contact me by commenting here or on facebook, or by emailing me at qualischefski@gmail.com with any enquiries.

So it has taken me a little while, but I am finally internetising the professional photograph (credit: the amazing cindy laine) of my work from this year's GraduArt catalogue jaded and bitter baby-sitter, 2010.

The GraduArt exhibition opening was a success by the way - a great turn-out of people and many were impressed with my work. The exhibition at USQ features my work they looked up to him; he looked down on them, 2010 and runs until 17th December 2010. The Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery features my paper work she will go down with her ship of promises, 2010 and that show runs until 5th Dec 2010.

Don't forget to come along to the 'Cherish' opening at Artisan this Thursday night 6pm if you can make it :-)
