The paintings, all of women, are meant to feel staged in contrast with my small, intimate, candid works. The show also includes a series titled “Wrestlers.” I hosted a couple of wrestling parties, where I photographed my friends’ matches. In Sand in her shoe, for example, I painted a daytime scene but gave it a night sky. I’m painting from photographs that I took, but I’m not staying very true to them. Sometimes you’ll think you remember something, but the photograph shows it differently. We have so many photos of all our experiences, which influences the way we remember them. It’s part of a body of work that grapples with how our personal memories are affected by our habit of constantly documenting our lives. I thought she looked really attractive then, so I painted her. We can’t wait to see what they have planned!ĭid you like this blog? Subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to receive news from The Block!

Josh and Jenna plan to spend part of next year renovating their home, but have listed it for holiday rental over the summer months. This part of the world is where the ocean meets the green rolling hills and we really have found our paradise!” the couple wrote. “We spent the evening watching the sunset and the dogs run around. The couple, who welcomed daughter Freddie back in June, recently posted about their first stay at ‘The Bicker Beach Shack’ in early November. “We want to maintain the soul of the shack, wonky ceilings and all! We will install new flooring, kitchen and fireplace, update the bathroom, fresh paint inside and out and style it with our vintage furniture collection.” “The home itself is a modest, 2 bedroom shack but that’s why we fell in love with it! We have our city pad and we wanted a low maintenance escape where we can spend time and create memories as a family. The property is 100 meters from the ocean with views from every window,” the couple wrote on their Facebook page.

“We recently purchased a quintessential 1950’s beach shack on the Great Ocean Road in a little surf town called Skenes Creek. Two and a half hours west of Melbourne, along Victoria’s famed Great Ocean Road, the home sits on 962m2 and is in in largely original condition - which was entirely its charm. The couple, who competed on two series of The Block, first in 2011, then on The Block All Stars in 2013, announced they had purchased the small cottage in Skenes Creek in Victoria, back in October, accompanying a photo of the shack with the caption: “The first of many memories to come.”
