For the blind

One of the best things about sitting a gallery show is the people.

A man told me not to take anything personally as he ushered his unsighted mother around the walls. To him they were silly. He came out with the classic, "A 7-year old could..." and repeatedly dismissed them with "Strings. Lots of strings." "More strings."

Until he came to one, in fluoro pinks, ribbons & roses. I braced myself, then he stepped back as he told her, "Now, [big pause] this one! This one's [got me]."

So you never know. (see above)

Eastside Radio's Sylvia Rosenblum interviewed four varied artists in residencies including Taronga Zoo, Botanical Gardens and Maritime and me! The interview zeroes in on the community benefit part of my project for Waverley Council about the Parking Officers aka Rangers. Go here http://eastsidefm.org/2012/03/arts-wednesday-artists-in-residence/   and click on Gail Carson to listen.

If you have anything to share as a parking officer or a member of the public with something to say about parking at Waverley, let me know here. I'd love to have your input or question. Over to you!

Miss the show? Here's a cropped paranor-ama by photographer Martin Neville. Don't worry that the spots aren't all on the works. By the time it was up that was the least thing. Great show, nice opening, stacks of visitors and interested convos.
