As part of our fortnight in Charlottesville I had to give a number of printing demonstrations, floor talks, a Q&A stage gig and collaborate with visiting First Nations artists Karen Mills and Lisa Waup. There’s nothing I like more than all of these, as they are a chance to interact with other artists and interested members of the public and an opportunity to tell some of the stories behind the making of the incredible indigenous prints I have had the pleasure of being a part of making. I have been described as “enthusiastic” about my work, and this may have come through! Here I am in front of a beautiful suite of prints I made with Harry Tjutjuna from Kalka in South Australia some years ago, at the end of his life.
Floortalks, stage presentations and openings in USA.
