OUR WORLD - Pictures at an Exhibition


Yesterday's treat was an exhibition opening
in Tanunda, the capital of the wine growing region
of The Barossa.



a rather wonderful mix of installations
ecologically and environmentally sustainable
contact prints on everything from bone, through fabrics
to paper and writing on the wall


the catalogues ran out and my memory is a trifle iffy
but I think?? the above was part of a long row of
fabric . . . however, I could be mistaken




a detail


an installation of a most glorious dress in autumnal tones
with many, many small pictures on paper in mixed medium
drawn upon and dyed

detail on fabric


detail on paper


installation of rusted shearer's combs

An exhibition of 'Back Country' by India Flint
I found it impressive even if I am a tad biased 
being the artist's mother.

Photography is not the best but the best i could
hurriedly do in a crush of people
also, there was so much more than I was able to capture.

Tomorrow I'm off on a long journey, 
don't know when or if I shall ever be back.

Please leave a comment or two,
I do appreciate them so very much.

  1. The exhibition looks inspired and inspirational. And of course you are proud. How could you not be?
    This long journey of yours? Physical or metaphorical? Travel safely, and come back if you possibly can. You are important to so many of us.

  3. I wish I could see that exhibition 'in the flesh'. It speaks fluently of the landscape. At first glance I thought that gown was an old tree stump!
    Have a safe and enjoyable journey.

  18. Your daughter is brilliant and talented -- she takes after her mother! Wow. I am so impressed.

    But 'when or IF" scares me. I hope you are kidding about the latter word. I hope you have a wonderful trip and that you are well. Take care, enjoy the journey.
