George Baldessin

At uni I majored in printmaking. In my first year (or maybe my second year) a fantastic printmaker ran the print studio. He was a bit cute and we all had a crush on him. One day he took me aside and told me that I should have a look at George Baldessin's work, because he thought I'd like it. I'm not sure if I ended up liking Baldessin because I like or because he told me I would. www.australiangalleries.com.au/artists/9-artists/76-gerogebaldessin

Tony Albert - Projecting our future 2002 - 2013

If you are in Sydney, go see this installation, but be quick - it comes down in a couple of days:  www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/tony-albert/

From the Art Gallery of NSW's website:

Tony Albert’s practice interrogates the contemporary legacies of colonial oppression from an Indigenous Australian perspective. Projecting our future continues his process of integrating re-worked ‘Aboriginalia’ (kitsch objects that naively depict Australian Aboriginal people) with new painted and graphic elements to create complex, expansive wall installations. The final part in a major trilogy, the work considers cultural difference in relation to pride, optimism and solidarity.

Postcards make me happy

I have a plan, you should all get together and work out a schedule, where someone sends me a postcard everyday. Thanks in advance.

I can't say the word arboretum to save myself. Either way it is much more amazing than I'd ever imagined. Who would have thunk. Go: www.nationalarboretum.act.gov.au/home
