Exciting Art News

I've been meaning to blog about my exciting news for a few days - so here it is.

A while ago I entered the Yellow Pages Group Art Awards and to cut a long story short my work has been short listed. What this means is that if (when) my piece wins, it will feature on the front page of our local phone book. Given that Auckland is New Zealand's largest city, this is quite exciting.

What makes it even more exciting is that the piece in question features an apophysis fractal as a background.

The image in question is this one.



Here's where I need help. The next step in the process if to ask pretty much everyone I know to vote for the piece. Thus what was once an art competition has become a rather interesting networking exercise / popularity contest.

Its all for a good cause though. Should the image "make it", Project K will be $10,000 better off.

So here is the official plea for your vote. Hopefully this is where the fractal community can really shine - in a way, this one is for all of us!

Did I mention that the work will be auctioned off for charity at some stage? Hopefully this next auction experience will be better than my last. At any rate, the auction is a long way away (the piece gets auctioned as its a finalist) - so of course, I'll blog about that experience in due course.

Edit: Voting has now closed. I'd like to thank everyone who voted for my piece. Your support is greatly appreciated!
