Love Bights

I'm back from Sydney! My eyes are sore from too much art. It was mostly good art though.
I enjoyed the spectacle and glamour of Sydney, but I'm happy to be back in cosy Perth/Freo. I loved looking at the Opera House, I could sit around looking at it all day. I loved the inside and the outside, I loved looking at the big ole bridge through the O.H. windows. But even so, I never get sick of the view from the top of Monument Hill in Fremantle, and even the Opera House has difficulty beating the sight of the ocean from the Round House lookout. Maybe it's because Fremantle has a view of the cranes, and we know how i love cranes.

That there is the Great Australian Bight. Probably the best thing i saw during the whole four days. My shonky camera doesn't really show exactly why. But it was very big, very shiny, and very, very bighty.

I will give a more topical post when I am not sleepy and guilty from avoiding real work.

Love this City

Excitement! I have a piece (or two?) appearing in the exhibition "Young Guns", an exhibit of international ceramic graduates that is a part of the Australian Ceramics Triennale in Sydney. I sent them off in a packing crate two days ago, and soon i'll be sending myself off in a similarly-sized economy seat, to attend the opening on the 15th of July. I've never been to Sydney before. I hear mixed reviews.

Meanwhile, i am making a piece for a cute exhibition at Pigeonhole, and also, my oil tanker is gradually taking form:
