SXS Premiere Success! Thanks!

Wow! Thanks to everyone who came along to the South By Scooter Premiere last night. I was a weird combination of amazed, honoured, and totally overwhelmed by the number of people who showed up and the reaction to the film! I love all of you guys! 

Thanks again to Liz for helping to put the whole thing together, Tim and Paul for lending their sex appeal to the DVD store, Rowan for making sure the movie played, Emmett for waving a camera around and to Mum and Dad for being amazing in every way. 

Here are a few pictures from the evening, Courtesy of Emmett Redding:

Sadly it’s over! Thanks to everyone who came along to see The Descent of the Dodo in First & Last at the Counihan Gallery… All six hundred and sixty six of you!

I can’t emphasise enough how much of a treat it was to be in this show! It was especially wonderful to have the opportunity to show work with my fellow Brunswick Arts committee members. When we get together it’s usually to discuss the work of others - so you can imagine how much of a thrill it was to work together on our own project. Such a delightful bunch with varied - but surprisingly complimentary - practices! I encourage you to keep up to date with  Jenna Corcoran, Alister Karl, Carmen Reid, Adele Smith, Ive Sorocuk, and John Stevens.

Adding yet more delightfulness to the delight was the fact that we were sharing the Counihan with Melanie Jayne Taylor whose show A Room For Ordering Memories was truly enchanting.

The Counihan is a really beautiful gallery, top-notch, it was a true pleasure working with everyone there. I cannot thank them enough for having me!
