This morning I began in earnest to win the Archibald Prize. I've only 16 days to go before it's due and a bunch of creating to do.
If you'd like to read how I got to this point (a gigantic piece of watercolour paper over 3 metres high and 1.4 metres wide scribbled with pencils - and soon, ink) here is where my journey began. Here are the final #5 ideas I settled on. This is number #4.
Paper, ink and imagination are my confidants and the Art Gallery of NSW walls are 3.4 metres high so it's sure to make an impression. My challenge is to make the right impression which is a fine balance between abstraction, curiosity and storytelling. Who will I paint? Keep watching to see my gigantic work and subject taking shape.
Of course time is now of the essence, but that's the life of any creative.
Long early morning await me as a give birth. Below is quite possibly the largest paper you've ever seen. It's an artwork to win the Archibald Prize but not as you know it. Oh, and hidden in plain sight is also a second artwork.
Can you see it?
If you'd like to follow my adventures I'd love to keep you updated on my latest work by going here.
