The Countdown
Today being the 24th of October means I have exactly 8 calendar months till my exhibition opens in Melbourne. I am working on a whole new body of work for this exhibition and as you can already see the work will be with a 50s, 60s and 70s retro theme. I want 20 good paintings for this exhibition so I did some quick calculations. Allowing time for the festive season and organising the transportation and allowing travelling and hanging time etc. etc., I need to do 3 paintings a month. With all my other womanly duties (sexist I know :P) and commitments it means head down and bum up for this little duck hehehe. Its just a little mini freak out, nothing to worry about. Of course any retro ideas or memories you might have would be welcomed. In fact any inspiration at all.

hmmmm if you're after retro remember those ugly orangy brown bottles that looked like a genie bottle. everyone seemed to have one somewhere around their homes when I was growing up. UGLY things lol. good luck with your exhibit :D
Ooh yeah genie bottles. Bet my Mum still has one somewhere hehehe.
Good for you, Uta! Always setting goal. Good way to make art! I know they will all be outstanding. Can't wait to go along with you on your creative process.
Maybe I can find an old photo and scan the orange/brown/gold rectangles. Bums up!
You'll come up trumps Uta! ...(that means you'll win in the end- in case you're not familiar with the phrase and it sounded rude!) Looking forward to seeing your new paintings and congrats on getting the exhibition! You're a star :)
Look out world Uta going to take you by the biggest storm...way to go lady and good plans love to hear the motion is moving forward... I just keep thinking about all the jewelry from that time big beads and peace signs...shoes too. Oh you are going to have a blast.. wonderful
