Deakin Small Sculpture Award

Lloyd is one of 39 artists of 249 entries who has had a work selected for the Deakin Small Sculpture ward

Expanding dimension is a super sustainable sculpture that combines the incongruity of industrial conduits, drains, pipes, exhausts, with Tillandsias, which are unusual xerophytes; epiphytic plants that reverse the day night cycle of photosynthesis and have special moisture absorbing cells called  trichomes.  Obliquely the super-sustainable work, also references organic structures of arteries, veins, membranes and epidermis.

To fulfil the dimensions of an entry into the Deakin University small sculpture Art Award the work needed to be no larger than 700 w x 700 L x 700 H. However over a period of years the Tillandsia plant aspect of the work will grow larger than the original dimensions. The plants will grow down the wires that may ultimately suspend the work between buildings at an exponential rate.

June - 2010 National Photographic Art Prize 

Lloyd spent 3 weeks constructing a large print 115cm x over 200cm from one of the Entropy composites - the image has over 1100 images which has meant opening each in raw and adjusting, then arranging on a large canvas.

The print work has been accepted into the Albury National photographic prize - 2010 National Photographic Art Prize  - $10,000 Acquisitive, $10,000 Acquisition Fund and $1,500 John and Margaret Baker Memorial Fellowship available for contemporary Australian photographers. The exhibition runs Friday 30 July - Sunday 26 September 2010.

The composite mosaic images were originally created in a low resolution form as part of a complex randomized projection exhibited at TarraWarra Museum of Art - Bushfire Australia - 28 March - 25 July 2010.

Lloyd was awarded a Regional Arts Victoria - Arts Recovery Quick Response grant to complete the projection work in collaboration with Alex Hayes, who wrote an application in C++. The large higher resolution image is the first print made as an extension of the projection composites.

Critique Day with Lloyd Godman - Limited to 5 participants

 This is a new and exciting addition to the Baldessin Press array of workshops. The critique day is designed for artists working on personal projects, and both undergraduate and postgraduate students who feel they would like more creative stimulus in their projects.

 If feel you would like to

• push your work further into areas of new discovery

• be part of a meaningful, insightful yet challenging critique with other artists

• learn strategies to look at your work from a critical perspective

• discover ways to make sense of dense art texts

This is critique day is for you!

Using participants work and art practice as a foundation, we will explore:

• strategies to analyse your work from three perspectives, technical, aesthetic, and content or meaning

• how these three areas interrelate

Lloyd Godman was head of the Photography Dept at the School of Art Dunedin, NZ for 20 years and supervised both undergraduate and postgraduate photography projects, so he has a great deal of experience to offer. During this period it had a reputation as the most experimental photography departments in NZ and offered a model to other schools.

TarraWarra Museum of Art - Bushfire Australia - 28 March - 25 July 2010

Lloyd has been awarded a Regional Arts Victoria - Arts Recovery Quick Response grant to complete this work -

At present Lloyd is working on an intricate and extensive projection work based on the 2009 bush fire for an exhibition at TarraWarra Museum of Art, in March 2010. This work includes several thousand images shot on 20 trips into the area over the past year, and maps the regeneration.

The randomized projection work consists of about 20 large composite images  - each one has about 1500 images which are arranged as triptychs – where the same scene is photographed to create a panorama but with visual disjuncture. Elements like burnt trees repeat from frame to frame, but with a visual difference in perspective and viewpoint.  The work explores Entropy - entropy - entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system.
I have been working with an IT friend – Alex Hayes  - who has written an application in C++ that will play random sequences from the huge bank of images. There are now 21 of these master composite images that the sequence can begin with, then its slowly zooms into a section of a composite image, till it selects a triptych and scrolls several of these across the screen, then randomly selects a single image and zooms in until this fills the full screen. After this it fades and returns to a different composite image before resuming a different sequence.

The exhibition opens on the 28th  March 2010
