I have just completed my MFAD in Glass at the Launceston University and gained high distictions for my work. Thanks to you, and all you taught me it has stayed with me for a long time. Last time we were together doing glass was in Gawler South Australia! I have always treasured your glass floating woman that I won in the raffle after the workshop ended and we all said goodby to you. Several months later I made a clay portrait of you a s you were still clear in my head and I remembered all your features for the life size portrait. A man stood at the door about50 metres away and said in an american accent..."my God is that Paul Marioni? He is a close friend of mine". Sorry I can't remember him at all (23 years ago?)but he was a visiting artist for the Underdale Campuse at the time. I hope to here from you as I want to show you my glass work. I am looking for an exhibition over there where you live and it would be great...if I could somehow get the chance to work with you again as an artist, friend.The theme of my work is 'Capturing the Rainforest before it dissapears because of Japanese news papers (Forest Industies)'I have been living in the loveliest place in the world for 18 years now but the landscap is changing rapidly and the water table is lower than its ever been. the only way I can express myself is through my art and glass of coase, but I still di not own a kiln or three. I have some of my work on my space but am trying to earn a living with my glass here in tasmania is a great effort. I dream of working at Pilchuck and hope to try a grant but I have not much money. I reasently had two arsen attacts on my home and other horible things as losing all my art work and photograghs. Thats why I went to University, slept in my car and used the glass kiln there to gain my masters so that for once in my life I could work with glass and do what I wanted to do. Starting my career now dosn't faze me but seeing all the glass work on the internet makes me want to do more. My bigest problem is sending over the glass as it is fragile. I thought that I could make work over there instead of transporting it as I can't afford the correct boxes etc. Can I send you over my CD as I would love to here what you think of my work. Cheers for now, Sarah King Hello Paul!
