Thrust and Parry

Started this drawing in Sydney during my residency at Ashfield.  A woman dancing on a vacuum cleaner.   Now living in Grafton along the Clarence River, I started drawing Ebb and Flo'.   A diptych pencil drawing worked from collaged ideas of the body, water, canoes inside the house!!  I decided that the vacuum cleaner drawing also needed a companion.  It worked best as two separate works put together too, to play off some ideas.   

So the collaged female needed to be riding something.  I decided on an old fashioned egg beater for inspiration.  I think it worked.  Thrust and Parry seemed the appropriate title.
