Light movement

Thousands of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters (Lichenostomus chrysops) are moving in streams overhead, north north-east in annual autumnal migration. They began early this year in March as the first cool days descended, and much cooler days descended into the alpine areas. In flight, the flocks continuously call; it is this that makes me look up to their extraordinary, daily movement.

Australian Ceramic Stories underway

The exhibition Australian Ceramic Stories was officially opened Friday night, April 11. Up and running, it is a beautiful installation by the exceptional team at the Western Plains Cultural Centre, Dubbo and curator Dr Julia Jones. This is a mammoth undertaking by a regional gallery in New South Wales, pulled off with panache.
