Burthurmarr about the end of "Eleven" the exhibition

Now that the end of another exhibition is here, I don't really know how i feel about it. When you put your heart and soul into creating and sharing an art exhibition it is a gamble. Gambling with your time, talent and emotions. I could have sold nothing and I would have had to question if I was good enough to continue with art as my main income. I am happy to say my exhibition "Eleven" was a success and 19 of my paintings are going to good homes. That was at last count. Their is still half a day left.
I have also been very happy to meet so many people from so many different cultures. From Adelaide to Alaska, France to Freo and Mexico to Madrid, so many interesting and kind people. I feel a mixture of happiness and sadness. I would like to thank Tandanya,Scotch College and Seymour College and not to forget my partner Ann Holland and son Devon Crebbin. Now I have to make a plan and move onto my next challenge.  

Weekends at Tandanya

I have been spending my weekends here at Tandanya. Deciding at the start of my exhibition to use my time in this wonderful gallery and to not waste the chance to put on a beautiful exhibition. I set up my table just out of the way of the entrance and paint. I like to have some music playing and set the scene to create and share my stories.
My creative processes all stems from my love of storytelling and my thirst to learn about my people. I am an urban Aboriginal man and I hope that I can break down barriers and stereotypes. 
People from all sides of the globe stop and chat. Some leaving a message in my visitors book others tell me in their smiles or their tears as they feel somehow touched by the artwork.
My exhibition called "Eleven" goes from the 15th of July to Sept 25th 2011. 

At Scotch College

As part of my Artist in Residency I was invited back to Scotch College Adelaide to run workshops on Aboriginal art techniques and symbols.
