Mountains Made

Camille Walsh — Tue, 19 Jan 2016 11:16:53 +0000

Towards the end of last year I was chuffed to be asked to take some photographs for a local campaign funded by Blue Mountains Economic Enterprise – Mountains Made. In a nutshell, the campaign seeks to support and promote existing local creative talent as well as letting those not yet in the know, if you’re an artist and you’re thinking about relocating to the mountains, then you’d be making a fabulous choice! :)

Here’s my pick of the bunch. Amazing local talent…

Fashion designer – Jenny Kee

Filmmaker – Matt Drummond

Textile Designer & artist – Julie Paterson and writer – Amanda Kaye

Artists – Hannnah & Mark Surtees (Studio Ham)

Writer – Tegan Bennett Daylight

street art = :)))))))))

The sky was AMAZING this afternoon! Beautiful clouds, beautiful colours. Here are my favourite snaps from a rather spectacular show, thank you Mother Nature, you clever, creative thing you… :)

Autumn loveliness

As Winter is almost upon us I’d like to squeeze in a quick post that pays homage to lovely, lovely Autumn. These photographs were taken 2 weeks ago and even since then, so many trees have lost their leaves and all those brilliant reds and yellows and oranges have bid their farewells and made way for the subdued shades of Winter. Au revoir Autumn… missing you already!

stormy weather…

There have been some cra-aaazy storms this past month or so! I do love a good storm, as long as it’s not life threatening and also I like to be tucked up somewhere safe, warm and cosy with perhaps some top shelf red wine and exotic cheeses involved. About 3 weeks ago I was out on our deck watching this beauty roll in. The sky was that amazing Australian blue but within minutes these great dark clouds had muscled their way in and then voila, an almighty storm was upon us. Amazing stuff! :)

creative kids

Last week for art class we headed off to see James Blackwell’s exhibition at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre. We were very lucky to have James come say hi and answer some very thoughtful, interesting questions put to him by the kids. (Thank you James!!) This week, the budding artists were set the task of collecting whatever bits and pieces took their fancy and then bringing them along to class to create a James Blackwell inspired piece. I’d love to share their work with you and I think you’ll agree, they’ve done a spectacular job! :)

Oh and due to my lack of technical prowess, I can’t figure out how to caption each work so, in order of appearance…

1. Mimi 2. Alice 3. Louis 4. India 5. Imogen 6. Lucie 7. Olivia 8. Marley 9. And me! (Yes, I kind of did that on purpose…)

cars can actually be kinda cool…

I’m totally not into cars. I know where to check if the oil needs topping up but other than that, the mechanical side of things is not for me. I can however appreciate the beauty in the design, not so much in modern day cars but the older ones… such lovely colours and curves, all that shiny chrome (is that what it’s called?)… Katoomba’s Lady Luck Festival is a feast for the car enthusiast and I found myself wandering around with my camera, getting completely lost in all the lovely details. Car art. It’s my new thang ;)

A lovely little secret…

On a recent, fleeting trip up north my dad said he wanted to show me some graffiti art in a laneway in down town Lismore. I don’t think I was expecting much. Not because the north coast isn’t filled with a ridiculous amount of talented, creative folk, because we all know it is, but more because after a childhood spent in the area, I just didn’t expect good ol’ Lismore to produce such a spectacular show.

So there we were, wandering around the unassuming back streets of, in many ways, a rather typical Australian country town, being treated to some top class graffiti art. I think these images prove yet again that boring concrete + skilfully produced art + a local community who are keen to brighten up their streets + a council who’ll support that = AWESOME! Oh and we can’t talk graffiti unless we chuck in a quote from the man himself, Banksy…

“Imagine a city where graffiti wasn’t illegal, a city where everybody could draw whatever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall – it’s wet.” :)
Banksy, Wall and Piece

P.S. My humble apologies to the artists for not crediting you for your amazing work, but I don’t know who you are!

linda makes beautiful things

If you haven’t done so already, do yourself a MASSIVE favour and go see Linda Seiffert’s exhibition Undulatus at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre in Katoomba. Her work is absolutely beautiful!

Here’s a selection of photos I took for Linda last week…

morning show…

You probably won’t believe me but I promise I’ve not played with the colours in these sunrise images. (You’ll see the two I’m talking about…) I woke up one morning last week, pulled back the curtains and WOW! What a feast for the eyes! Mother Nature certainly knows how to put on a most spectacular show…
