We have been very busy since our arrival. Yesterday we met two artists from Broken Hill - firstly Jana Hlavica who is a painter and jewellery maker in her studio and gallery - Images of Australia then later in the day Deirdre Edwards who is a contemporary artist specialising in mixed media and prints. Deirdre heads the GAARA Arts Group and was very interested in hearing about artist run spaces and collectives. Sue was able to help out with some hardcopies of newsletters from Spiral Gallery Inc and SEMAG.
With Susan Thomas and Patrick (Current BHAE Director) we decided to head out with Jana and Deirdre today for an early morning drawing session at the Mundi Mundi Plain - quite spectacular. Sue and Susan did some great drawings - mine were crap but I took some good photos. Later this afternoon we have been interviewed by the local paper.
Oops I forgot to say that we have finally started videoing our interviews with each other. We are still a bit shaky with the process but at least we have started.
