Project Contemporary Artspace (Wollongong) 2008 Last Member's Show

Project Contemporary Artspace (Wollongong) 2008 Last Member's Show, originally uploaded by Vanessa Pike-Russell.

I had some photos on exhibition at Project Artspace and today was the final day. You can see one of the four framed photos to the left and right of the artwork "Abstractions of Ned" by Pauline Denney.which resembles the ned kelly outline (two rectangles and a connection to replicate Ned Kelly's hand made bulletproof armour).

The photo on the left was taken at Nan Tien Buddhist Temple and is the view from the main temple looking out towards the pagoda in the distance, with the animal carving details on the roof featuring in their bright orange against the brilliant blue sky.

The top photo on the right was taken at the Wollongong Botanic Gardens featuring the brilliant red kawasaki bridge, a gift to Wollongong by its 'Sister City' of Kawasaki in Japan.

Above this photo is an empty space and a red dot from the sale of my photo of a pink gerbera daisy with a yellow ladybug. I would say I was tickled pink but that would just me being punny. :)

The bottom right photo was taken at Wollongong hospital on the second floor entrance which is known well to patients who have yet to kick their nicotene habit as one of the few places they can have a cigarette on the grounds. I don't smoke myself but found myself there staring at the symmetrical structure soon after the birth of my Nephew, Levi and just happened to have my camera handy. Most people do not recognise the location of my photograph although they would have walked past it at one time in their lives.

It was a great experience and I would highly recommend exhibiting your work if possible. Project Artspace is run by volunteers and community-driven. Their website is www.projectgallery.org
