Beginnings Of Urban Coast.

Well, feature me!

Check out this link: http://100thgallery.com/ where you'll see I'm being featured at Melbourne's 100th gallery online. Nice. Of course if you're in Prahran, you can drop in and see even more art.

Call on Charles here http://100thgallery.com/contact/ to make a time & he'll rocket there to meet you.

Miss the show? Here's a cropped paranor-ama by photographer Martin Neville. Don't worry that the spots aren't all on the works. By the time it was up that was the least thing. Great show, nice opening, stacks of visitors and interested convos.

Semmes: seams? sewing?

So many people have career-describing names. Beverly Semmes isn't a seamstress but a conceptual artist who made these things when I was using clothing to make works as well. She's still awesome & I'm still affected by her stuff.

For the blind

One of the best things about sitting a gallery show is the people.

A man told me not to take anything personally as he ushered his unsighted mother around the walls. To him they were silly. He came out with the classic, "A 7-year old could..." and repeatedly dismissed them with "Strings. Lots of strings." "More strings."

Until he came to one, in fluoro pinks, ribbons & roses. I braced myself, then he stepped back as he told her, "Now, [big pause] this one! This one's [got me]."

So you never know. (see above)
