Need a sculptor, jeweller, body painter or installation artist for a collaborative exhibition, September of this year. Must be interested in making the inanimate look animate. Theme is plants, but with a freaky twist, tentatively entitled 'Stepping Lightly' up to you how you interpret.
Must also be able to commit to all the work that comes with putting on an exhibition. I've had some practice doing solos, but I won't babysit, you need to pull your weight, put your hand in your pocket & commit.
I have a photographer, Kim Evans & this is the florist, or rather floral artist :) we will be working with. www.beansandbunches.com.au, we need a fourth.
Interested? email me jessicamccallum76@gmail.com . We'll go for coffee & discuss.
If you've never exhibited before, or always wanted to sell your wares to a different audience, this is your chance.
Professionals need not apply. Feel free to pass on to enthusiastic hobbyist friends though.
grow
You held a tree in the palm of your handa gesture I didn't understand,
Named every leaf with a wish
that two lives so different would intertwine
your wishes would become mine.
Told all your secrets to the fish
But your thoughts stayed in your head
& now the flowers are all dead.
Contemplation
I consider myself very fortunate to be surrounded by creative, dynamic, passionate, outgoing friends who inspire me everyday. I'm constantly reminded of their generosity & warmth. Their support in both actions & words. Not once have a I ever heard a friend of mine say, "You can't do that" or "be realistic Jess". I guess it's deliberate that I gravitate towards positive people.
I've developed relationships with colourful souls from so many different backgrounds, histories & walks of life. Some of them have experienced wars, poverty & grief, & more pain than I can ever imagine. Some of them have all they could hope for & more, lovers, friends, children & wealth in knowledge and experiences. These people inspire me with their determination & enthusiasm depite obstacles.
I heard someone say once "learn to love your beautiful mistakes" & someone else say "if you haven't failed, you're not trying". I have the wisest friends. They have opened every door I've ever walked through, or at least given me the key.
Just wanted to put that out there.

Laneways & interludes
It was Hot Hot Hot! setting up at 3:30pm in 41 degree heat, but well worth the effort. What a turn out! So many people bustling through the laneways in search of arty bargains.The Laneway Night Markets as part of this year's Fringe World Festival were organised by local hip young things On William.
Fabulous
My friend Judith helped me throughout in the blazing heat, looking glamorous & talking me up.
West TV filmed us, though I doubt I'll make the cut, so hot, & so nervous. Don't even rememeber if I said anything of vague interest other than "it's hot and the icy poles are really good".
Lots of friends dropped by to say Hi & show their support, some even bought stuff.
Read all about it.
