Art gallery and abstraction




Last weekend spent Sunday working with the friends who have made up the Rainbow Connection quilting group - I got to sew the strips on the "Mr Men" quilts. Starting to look really good - when finished they will be given to the Child cancer unit.


This weekend after doing some overdue conference paper reviews, went to a Trivia night and was in the winning team - some people know the weirdest things! then on Sunday did another couple of jobs and went with flatmate to the NSW Art Gallery to see an exhibition called "Paths to Abstraction" - quite fascinating actually, although I dont think I will ever buy abstract art for my wall. I did like "Discs of Newton" by Kupka . Apparently the colours and pattern is meant to evoke the same sort of feelings and appreciation that music can. Must go back to the Art Gallery sometime, there was heaps i havent seen.
Beautiful day in Sydney although nippy wind, and it was good to get out of the house and away from the computer.
