These shots are details from a large scale (9m) wall work paper by Peter Osborn who I have been working with for the last couple of months towards his exhibition titled ‘While We Came and Went’ that we install at the Warwick Regional Gallery tomorrow, with an opening on Friday 6pm.

I really love working with Pete, he has read and written a lot in the last 3 years completing his PhD, and I feel like it’s all distilling itself into these new bodies of work, which is a joy to witness.

There are 3 series in this show, a series of ceramic works that are strongly connected to the earth, another series made during a residency in Japan this year featuring traditional wood firing, and a series of works on paper that seek to express, Pete writes, ‘our internal energy and our belonging to the mystery and wonder of this world’. The work at large explores the relationship between humanity and nature.

The work gets photographed properly this week, these are my studio shots from a couple weeks ago.

Often Monica and I have cups of tea and talk about her work, lately I’ve been trying to capture some of these chats in order to share the way her beautiful brain works through constructing these paintings.

Monica Usher, ‘Nature’s Sinew’, 2023/2025, oil on canvas (framed), 53 x 53cm $1000

I’ve had a beautiful couple of days in Miles selecting work for, and curating the Western Downs Regional Artist’s Exhibition titled ‘Ritual and Revelry’ that’s going up at Gallery 107 in Dalby in September. Thanks to the wonderful Amy Bevan and Claudia for looking after me. I’ve included some sneak peaks of some of the works here and the lagoon that was my morning walk just around the corner from the gallery. If you find yourself in Miles go to the Windor for a steak and visit Paula at the coffee shop with the big Merlo umbrella’s on the Main Street. Loved it all.
