#cementa22

Cementa22 is just around the corner and the emergency blankets are nearly ready. Here are some detail shots of each blanket and one detail shot of the mylar backing. I will be exhibiting these blankets and performing live at Combamalong Studios as part of my Emergency Blankets project for Carnivale Catastrophe @carnivale_catastrophe, presented by Modern Art Projects Blue Mountains @modernartprojects at Cementa22 @cementafestival 19-22 May, 2022. Carnivale Catastrophe is proudly assisted by the Australian Government @ausgov through the Festivals Australia program, Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal @frrr_aus, and NAB Foundation @nab. Emergency Blankets is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW @creatensw.

In the first post I shared the process involved in creating test quilts for the first emergency blanket. In the second post I discussed the creation of the wagga blanket and some problems we encountered. In the third post I provided some insight into the creation of the second emergency blanket. In this installment I will report on the progress made during my recent stay at Cloudbough Art Residency in Kandos.

In this first post I discussed the process involved in creating test quilts for the wagga. In this installment I will provide some insight into the creation of the wagga itself.
