I am fortunate to have two windows showcasing my work at Craft Victoria until September 2. If you read my previous post, I mentioned that I had a few regrets regarding my display. I really, really wish that I had made the left window above look more obviously like a bedroom. I might have designed a special wallpaper, put up a nice candle sconce, maybe even had a glass of water by the 'bed'. But I didn't. And so I have to rely on the work itself to make the window engaging. But I have been looking at the work for so long that I can't tell whether it is engaging anymore.

It looks Ace (with a capital A!) and it's good that you have some ideas for another display - it's normal to have some more ideas once you have dome something - it's learning from experience. Your windows are a HUGE achievement - would you just give yourself a pat on the back already??? Mind you - can you do the bedroom next time? it does sound pretty intriguing - the idea that someone has just left the bed...like that Pierre Bonnard painting in the NGV...it would be a great exhibition - strange bedfellows...
Hi Julianne, you are SO RIGHT! (Entirely capitalised....) Definitely a huge learning curve. Everyone keeps emphasizing that it is a strangely shaped space to fill, but I could have put more thought into the display, rather than just concentrating on the pieces themselves.
I love that Pierre Bonnard painting -- how nice to be considered in the same sentence....! I must look at it again. And think of all of the things I could have included.....
Strangely enough, my next post on the Frankie illustration kind of compliments this one!!
Thanks so much Julianne xx
