have a good week ! >> Gina
I travel to Bali on saturday for my daughter’s wedding … so exciting … 7 days of heat and photography, catching up with family and friends and whatever adventures await.
In 2007 when i travelled to Switzerland to spend time with my daughter and my future son-in-law I did a foundart series where i created small original collages and lost them along the way … see the series here >>>
For this trip the collages are larger, postcard size and i plan to create another foundart series2. Keep a watch on this space. <<< for the Bali foundart series. As Always, do let me know what you think .
i shall begin with how the pieces began and keep up to date with losing the series and photographing in situ and hopefully i will have a few stories to tell as the series unfolds. >>> Gina

In 2007 I was planning to travel to Switzerland to spend time with daughter and I was going to be away for 5 weeks. Although I was planning on doing little drawings, taking lots of photos and visiting galleries I knew ‘doing art’ was out of the question but I still wanted to ‘do’ something art wise.
So I hit on the idea of a ‘foundart series’ but with me ‘losing ‘the art and the found part being someone else’s.
I spent 2 months working across older collages, reworking and layering what turned out to be ‘vessels’ (vases and bowl shapes). I then cut the larger collages up creating small business card size artworks and worked on each one to create individual little gems
see the whole article here with pictures of progress and final pieces.

working on the visual aspect while the poem itself is workshopped – which do you think works best ?
last year prior to travelling to Switzerland and Italy i decided to do art along the way but knew i would not get in much drawing or painting, photography yes ! .. so i spent three months prior to leaving creating the foundart series .. initially i thought i would lose one a day so i needed 30 …. i created 75 and lost a couple or more a day on most days beginning at the airport in Launceston, Melbourne through days in Switzerland and a week in Umbria back through Singapore airport and Melbourne again ..
here you can see the artworks as they were created – the whole collection prior to losing one day.
