All's fair in love and Warrnambool

Hi, how're you? I'm just writing a quick hello to let you know that tomorrow night is the opening of the Future Now travelling exhibition at The Artery, in Warrnambool, Regional Victoria.

Here's the flyer thing for it.
My work in The Artery version of Future Now is the Friends show that I had in the original Substation version of Future Now, plus a couple of additional works as well, including my sculpture Esky, chips and sauce.
Esky, chips and sauce. Acrylic on wood, paper and ceramic. 2013. 

I chose this piece mainly because the gallery that this show's at is called the Artery, and what better way to clog an Artery.
Chips and sauce. Acrylic on ceramic. 2013.

It's a little exciting travelling with a show, me and the 6 other artists in the exhibition, we're just like Jack Kerouac, going On The Road. 

Ha, or maybe more accurately we're circus folk.

Pretty crazy really, only yesterday I arrived back from a week working and exhibiting in Perth and now tomorrow morning I'm driving to Warrnambool for the night. It's gonna take me about four hours to get there, which coincidentally is actually about the same amount of time it took to get to Perth. 

Anyway as it says on the flyer the Future Now opening is tomorrow from 6 to 8pm, but if you can't make it to that I'll also be around the day after as well, (Thursday August 7), as from 11.15am to 12.15pm myself and fellow Future Now artist Sarah Duyshart will be in the gallery presenting a floor talk. It's primarily for the Warrnambool year 11 and 12 art students, but all are welcome.

And if you can't make it to that then the exhibition' will remain open until August 24. 

And if you can't make it at all, ha, well, I still very much appreciate you reading this, and of course I completely understand, because unless you live in Warrnambool then Warrnambool is very far away. 

But so yeah, really looking forward to hitting the road and hopefully I'll see you tomorrow night as we clog up the The Artery. And after all this talk of clogging arteries here's a photo of todays lunch, a steak and bacon pie, eaten with the sun in my eye.
And now, having finished this blog post, here I am about to have literally my favourite midnight dinner ever; vegetables, chicken kiev and sausages.
(And finally, not that she'll ever read this, but thank you to my mum for getting out of bed to take that last photo. xo)
