tura marrang now showing...


 I have loved bringing some of my booky works (old and new)

to the opening of the beautiful new Tura Marrang Library and Community Centre
in Tura Beach - far couth coast NSW
(ie just down the road a bit from my creek home) 


The new space is featuring some of my book-boat images

 

and little book boats I've made
as well as a book boat building site
for library patrons to make some little paper book-boats
to add to the display


I've cheekily popped a few boats in odd places... 


my video work looked FAB in the AV meeting room for opening day ceremonies...


but without a doubt my favourite thing
is how my 2 loooooooooooong books look
in the funny little wedge shaped display cabinet...



the looooooooooong books and boat installation
will be on display for a couple of months


( I think they like hanging out in this space...)

I love it when a plan that seems good in theory
actually comes together as hoped in practice

"To build up a library is to create a life.
It’s never just a random collection of books."
