never too young

I am going to be in a group show called 'This is Brunswick Arts' which opens at Brunswick Street Gallery on Friday. It is a group show for all of us who are part of the Brunswick Arts Space crew, an opportunity to show our work in a different gallery.

Little did we know that another show, one which would get front page coverage in The Age, would be opening on the same night! Lucky us!

I personally really love the idea. I'm intrigued to see the work she has produced, if my niece is anything to go by I can imagine some really wonderful art work being hung. There is definitely something lost with self consciousness/cricism and training of the fine motor skills. My niece who is now four, is suddenly very concerned with staying in the lines, and not that I would want her not to develop her coordination, but she has started down a path that will take her all of her life to learn and unlearn, and learn again. Such a double edged sword is (self)consciousness.


(the opening night is Friday the 16th of January, 6-9pm

Runs to 29^th Jan 2009 @ Brunswick Street gallery
