For The Blind
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)

CARSON LAUNCHED ONLINE—Epic Melbourne gallerist Charles Hardman (@100thgallery on Twitter) has launched me at his gallery online - see this link: http://100thgallery.com/gallery/gail-carson/ Your chance to be with us from the beginning.
CALL OUT FOR ARTISTS
Theme is BILLOW — BE PART OF A POPUP GALLERY on a grassy knoll at Bondi the Beautiful Festival on July 1.
Works can vary in size but in 3D, nothing bigger than a person & about a metre square for flat works. Minimum can be postcard size. Put a price on if you want to sell.
If you have an idea or response to this, & want to be in it, get in touch with me via DM @G_times on Twitter, oh-kye? If you need me to follow you to do this, tell me that too. OR, see my details at the Waverley Artists url to the right. Be brave!
This and that (art career)
As AIR with Waverley Council I've been busy making work, going to the studio, spending hours on the road, entering comps, booking shows, securing an agent, reading reading reading, getting tutor gigs & insurance. Did you know that casual work such as running classes or workshops or performing requires your own insurance? It does. For that go to NAVA for links.
But for models & performers etc, go to http://www.duckforcover.com for totally affordable cover. They are the bomb. Makes it possible for your efforts to be all about the art.

Art takes time, thought and skill. Conceptual artists have skills. Someone said "You make art like a little kid!" hahaha. That's not a bad thing. Picasso knew that too.

Thanks to Jeanette aka @psychopoesie : "beautiful & delicate... also surprising!" and "your public wants more more MORE! :)" and to James Johnson CHR aka @JamesJohnsonCHR for being another keen supporter. Artists need supporters. True.

Thanks to a wonderful role model, I joined LinkedIn – was it worth it? Early days & it was lots of fun tweaking words to shape an image. Hmmm how to sketch a public profile, check it out here: http://tinyurl.com/8d4y8pe
