In between some amazing activities in the studio this week, including another incredible portrait edition for artist Brook Andrew and the impending opening of our new store extension, these great cubes have been stitched together and walked up the hill from the studio.
Very autumnal, a bit of wedgwood, dusty pink, fluro, a little two colour photographic, they’re a winner set.
We’ve been living with this fresh, fresh yellow hung on the studio wall. On Tuesday some huge silver surfaces we’re making for an art project were pinned up next to the yellow.
We introduced the combination of yellows, silver, natural linen and Stewart’s artwork to Jeannette to see what inspiration she might derive. This result arrived half an hour ago – a super star patchwork cushion, that has been awarded the honour of being this weeks Friday Cushion, hurrah !
Huge thank you to all of you who made the studio sale at the new retail space such a fun Friday. It was great for us studio based types to meet you all and nice to see loved spacecraft experiments find a appreciated new home.
We realised we should do this kind of thing more often.
The store extension is coming along, it feels fresh and lively, and rest assured we’ll invite you all to the launch, coming up soon.
Recently an opportunity came up to knock the west facing wall down and double the size of the spacecraft store on Gertrude Street.
So, once upon a time, in Colombo, Stewart was charged by Barbara Sansoni to rework experimental woven stripes. This happened in the 80′s and announced Stewart’s entry into the world of screen printing on fabric.
Something of a reoccurrance this week, as a delivery of Barbara’s fabric from Colombo with yellow woven stripes. As soon as it arrived it was rolled out on the print table, and Stewart explained his intention to print between the lines and recounted the story of how he began printing on fabric.
Remarkable to see the last set of backing cloth paintings sell out so promptly, well done to all that were successful. This set emerging since Stewart returned from overseas and took up the back tables closest to the dye kitchen. Lots of interest in how prominently the new engravings will feature.

For those who’ve been waiting, I hope this is it. For those new to the work hope to see you in the store or the studio to experience the depth and variety of the imagery alongside moments of extreme craftsmanship.
