John Frohlich and I currently have a photographic exhibition called "Affinarti - Photographic Haikus" in a trendy gallery called Carbon Black, at 188 High Street Prahran, Melbourne. We had been working on this artwork for the past year and it was such a buzz to see it finally hanging in a gallery. Many thanks to Tim the owner for his professionalism and good nature. The art work even sold before the opening.
We had the privilege of John's friends Scott Brisbane and Jill Anderson exhibiting in the upstairs rooms at the same time.These are some of the pictures taken on the opening night before it became packed with people. We were very happy that some of our models Julie, James and Jo flew down for the opening and celebrated with us afterwards.Also a special thank you to my cousins Di and Trish, Aunty Sylvia, Adam, Gemma and Xavier for celebrating with me and making my night fun.
Affinarti - Photographic Haikus explores human consciousness and the natural environment. Using a series of photographic images, natural elements such as earth, air, water and fire are merged with representations of various human states of being.
The works also eoke a sense of history, mythology, ideology and the subconscious by blending images of ancient civilisations, space and the contemporary world with the naked form.
Traditionally, Haiku poetry combined an image with a meditation on that image. Affinarti uses the photographic medium to create poetic visual metaphors.
You can see the whole exhibition in the Affinarti gallery on my web-site.
