Lucky Me
A couple of drifters left town for the weekend. So I moseyed on down GOMA to admire the glittery delights of APT7. These Lalava lashed cyclinders left me feeling a little homesick for Samoa, eventhough they were created by a Tongin artist from New Zealand. These interpretations of lalava lashing patterns are currently inspiring two little ladies going for an arts grant. Standing in the PNG spirit house brought on a serene sense of belonging and ideas for displaying all the beautiful billums gifted to DSG over the past two years. Delightful island Marys' were carved to sit atop a Head in PNG. The fine mat of the islands starred in this interpretation of the Pieta. This whimsical work reminded me that I was in the city, a long way away from Island life.
