I’ll write a summary later on tonight. It was a very unstructured Q&A. If I got to do it again, I think I’d bring tea and a table and have a round table discussion. There is something awkward about standing, although you do get to walk around the gallery.</p>http://shiftyandshady.tumblr.com/post/17807802341http://shiftyandshady.tumblr.com/post/17807802341Sat, 18 Feb 2012 16:13:00 +1100sharon kitchingartpaintingoilshead<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzh7p3TbX01r670m6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Got the rest from the foundry today.
