Afternoon tea
Some photo's from Mr Kitly, 'The Blue Path' by Renilde De Peuter. Also some from the afternoon tea reception, I made Persian Mint tea (It was a very hot day) and Gingerbread, Pene made delicious Marshmallows and Bree and Julian made tea. All delicious! Thanks to everyone who came to look.

A slow boat
The great news is that Renilde's work has arrived intact, only 2 and a half months late. The series is titled 'The Blue Path' and it has been on a rather mysterious adventure through the postal system and across the seas. Rather poetic, now that it has arrived!
The other good news is that there is a little room in the Mr Kitly calender to exhibit the work alongside Bree's Spring garden, so if you are in Melbourne you have an opportunity to see it! We will be having a little afternoon tea reception on the 15th. Details are below. The work is in the gallery from today, the 8th of October til Sunday 23th of October. We'd love to see you there!

The Blues
This is the blue August of coated arms. A blog devoted to a year of colour. A nice discovery for today. Featuring some Woodstock blue denim.

Renilde De Peuter
As an artist it's kind of a nightmare to imagine, an artwork sent to be exhibited and being lost on the way. I still feel a little ill when I think about this, even more worrying is the idea that it is permanently lost. I am hoping that it will turn up after a long, slow journey across the blue ocean, it should with this title and story!
The Blue Path.
I called this series The Blue Path because it is a work in progress and can be seen as a sort of journey to imaginary worlds and landscapes, similar to the Bildungsroman in which the protagonist is searching for meaning and harmony.
During this project I worked very intuitively, I've changed course many times, and removed parts or reinterpreted meanings to integrate them in the story, like for example the Three Golden Fleeces that finally constitute the pivot of this quest, this eternal search for the unknown.
This series of works is mainly made of recycled materials, the base being my own worn-out jeans, which in itself is already a landscape. My own personal landscape even, which gives the series a certain sense of continuity.
The most worn-out, and thus the most interesting parts, the knees, form the base for the eclipse and the ship in the middle of the ocean surrounded by St Elmo's Fire.
This motive of St. Elmo's Fire returns in almost every tile. It evolves from something narrative, something pictural to something more abstract, to ultimately even result in a simple woven pattern.
Bon Voyage to all :^)
Such beautiful work from Renilde. I am so glad there are photos to show at least. Here are some, and some more on her blog.
