Exhibition is cancelled

Exhibition has cancelled due to Covid outbreak

New Moon & Reborn

I am one of the artists who were excited to do the exhibition tomorrow, however, we are disappointed as it has been cancelled due to the Covid outbreak in our area.

Every work has been completed. I prepared some information sheets, price tags and cards… I was ready!
Now a little sadness creeping into my mind. I can’t show and sell my latest works at the exhibition.

Let’s hope that we will celebrate it with the families and friends together, we only have 7 days to Christmas…

Fundraising for WIRES

Regeneration after the bushfires

Regenetaion 1-3
I am participating in the local art project and created 3 artworks.
The project has two keynotes. It is a fundraising project for WIRES. We had very bad bushfire season last time so we’d like to donate all the money raised from the project. Each panel will be sold for $20 each.
The panels have already the outline of the leaf on it and the artists have to use the shape.
So here it is. I’d like to tell you how I approach this project to create my work.
First of all, I thought about the theme, bushfires. I painted the burnt leaves in black with holes. Then I drew the red strings.  I like the story of the red string and I often paint them on my work. It is known as a romantic story but I also believe we are all connected.
I added some new green leaves on the red strings and I decided the titles, “Regeneration”
Regeneration 1,2 & 3
25.5×25.5cm each
Acrylic on cotton panels
$20 each
All money raised will be donated to WIRES.

Midori Furze — contemporary artist

The Consulate-General of Japan, Sydney released a cultural dictionary of the artists on their website in September 2020.

They told me that I was chosen to be one of them because I have received the award in 2016, I am so delighted to be in it.

In 2016, I received a Consul-General’s Commendation award for my work towards origami.
I have been working very hard but it was a surprise that the government recognised me.
I’m still doing my best and enjoying the origami.

Thank you very much, everyone! I couldn’t do without your support.

You are not Alone

My new work, Thinking of You 1 & 2

Thinking of You 2

“Thinking of You 1 & 2”
94 x 94cm each
Mixed media on canvas, framed

We have lost our freedom to travel because of the Corona pandemic at the moment. We can still talk on the phone, we can see each other on the monitor srteens, but I still feel the distance.

We can’t touch, smell or feel the warmth of other people through machines.

I created the artwork while thinking of someone who lived far away and wish for them a happy and healthy life.
You are not alone.
