The Kelly Gang just had an exciting ‘postcard’ from Klaus in Portland, Oregon. He’s been over there since early June, making new work at Bullseye for an upcoming mega show in America (which will link up with his touring Klaus Moje: Glass, Living Treasures: Masters of Australian Craft exhibition once it has finished its Australian rounds and heads Stateside, where it will have a fittingly prestigious itinerary, including the Portland Museum and The Museum of Arts and Design in New York.) More of that further down the track. Meanwhile he’s happily exhausted, having almost finished what must be his most ambitious (in magnitude, for sure) undertaking to date. And what a masterpiece (in the correct sense of the word.) It’s Wagnerian! Klaus’ll be heading home next week for a nanosecond of R&R before he’s off to Broken Hill for the next leg of Living Treasures Aussie openings tour.
