{I see them! There, she pointed. Look.}
Threaded a path in direction of Geelong Gallery yesterday to see our five books exhibited as part of the 2009 Geelong acquisitive print awards. In a cabinet of their own they sat, two concertina bindings of ours unfurled at full length, three fanned in shape of a star. It was exciting to see them displayed, to see them encased, to catch the show before it closed, to be in such good company.
The drive there passed quickly, the four of us nattering away at fast tempo, chomping on snake confections flavoured delicious banana and wild berry as we headed away from the city. Black car packed to near capacity, all bags, props of the day, legs and a cardboard tray of recently drained coffee cups. It may only have been an hour by car but it had all the familiar markings of a daytrip. A suitable jolt of something different, day broken in new pieces and perspective changed. I need to do this more often.
{Circling the cabinet thrice over.)
+ As part of the 2009 Geelong acquisitive print awards, our five books, Objects gathered with care from recent reads (I) (II) (III) (IV) and (V), can be seen until the 29th of November.
{A Magic Bunny pin from Tex Gordon's show is purchased and a zine is made ready for tomorrow's launch.}
+ Postcards from... A key to make your own world visible is a new zine and it will be available tomorrow.
