Place Milkbar, 139
St John St, Launceston
Date from Monday
10th September
Portrait
session: Thursday 20th September 14:00-16:00
"Mako is often found in cafes about town, drawing what she
sees in Launceston's cafe scene, and now you can see a selection of her
pictures at the café Milkbar.
These delicate pen drawings have been chosen from a mountain
of Mako’s sketchbooks. She has walked around Launceston with her sketchbook, finding
comfortable and beautiful places, having coffee at cafés and drawing people
while they relax and enjoy their time. In the great amount of time that she has
spent in cafés since she came to Launceston in 2009, she has developed a great
love of the café culture here. Guess how many cups of coffee she has had in these
3 and a half years? You can share Mako’s experiences in Launceston’s cafés at
this exhibition.
Mako will be at Milkbar on Thursday, September 20th, from 2
- 4pm, holding a portrait session. So come along and you can come and have Mako
do a portrait of you! Bring your friends, your kids, your lover, yourself!"
Introduction from Daniel Spinks
"Mako's love
of spending her free time wandering the streets of Launceston and relaxing in
cafés drinking good coffee and drawing is evident in these sketches. Further,
these drawings demonstrate Mako's lifestyle. Thus, these pictures
simultaneously reflect the life of this particular artist, and are a reflection
of the city – and the culture of the city - in which she lives. The resulting
creation, in which she has poured her own lifestyle, and which reflects her
surroundings, is 'Mako x Café: Little Drawings of Cafés in Launceston'. (Daniel Spinks)"

Here are some drawings she has done of Milkbar :D "
There will be the works from the book 'Cigarette Meditations' at milkbar too.
The paintings are from 'Cigarette Meditations' which consists of a dozen poems by Daniel Spinks, plus images by Mako.
Introduction to ‘Images of Cigarette Meditations’ by
"As I view Mako’s work, I feel like an intruder in another’s dream, yet I am completely comfortable at peace. Her work is haunting, yet comforting, she possesses a rare ability; her eye portrays a beautiful interpretation of the surrounding environment, yet the viewer cannot escape the fragility of life, constantly reminded by chaotic splashes of ink, coupled with settling tones. Cigarette Meditations provides you with a key to the door that unlocks an insight into the chaotic dream that is the poetry of Daniel Spinks and the artwork of Masako Morita.(J
