Last Thursday the Gang and Brigitte headed to Canberra for the opening of Borders and Tidal Zone at Craft ACT. The Monaro was gorgeous, as always, and the trip delivered yet another visual bon-bon; this time in the guise of a customised FX, parked outside PJ Harvey’s in Nimmitabel. There was obviously a significant Holden gathering somewhere over the coming weekend, because from here on in (for the next 24 hours, in fact) we spotted a steady stream of rev-head gems, all heading sou’ sou’ east. Made you want to turn around and follow ’em immediately…
Anyhoo, we did manage to resist temptation and focus on the task at hand. One of Brigitte’s Hammerheads is featured in Borders, a line-up of work from local artists (including Stephen Harkin, Megan Munro, Lia Tajcnar, Elizabeth Kelly, Gilbert Riedelbauch and Tim Foster) showing concurrently with Tidal Zone (a touring exhibition from the Design Centre-Tasmania.) By the way, Jas, we loved the way Borders remained so contained and dignified, while those Taswegians ran riot in Gallery 2…
The Gang caught up with lots of bods, of course. Lizzie is only just back from Japan, and already heading for Tasmania (little wonder she was looking so happy and relaxed!!) Luna is in the final throes of vacating the studio at Mitchell (nothing worse than that moving caper, as we know only too well…) Annie has finished up at ANCA and is now at the helm of the good ship CAPO…
Plenty of familiar faces, and one very familiar hand, at…
