I’d be very curious to know what your thoughts are on exhibiting now that you’ve possibly had a wee bit of time to think about. How about letting the world know handweaving is well and alive, and much more sophisticated than what people may think – is this necessary in Oz? That we are not “mere” craftspersons, but some of what we do border on art, even though it is not “wearable art” or “fibre art”?

How about inspiring those, like me, who follow – I know you publish and teach, but is exhibiting another way of encouraging others? Textile being three-dimensional (at least), I would have loved to have visited your show to see it in person.

The photos are still intoxicating, my favorite being the second from the bottom, Kaz.

Congratulations on producing what looks like it is going to be a breathtaking exhibit. You must have found the process exhausting. I hope you also found the process one inviting growth.

Hi Kaz,
I really do agree with you except for one part which you haven’t experienced yet. There is a an incomparable thrill seeing all of your work on display.(kind of like giving birth) You must find your heart racing every time you look at these mouth watering pictures. Don’t you find yourself shaking your head in disbelief wondering who made these amazing objects? Where inside of you did they come from?
Every time I have shown my work I have found I don’t really get commissions or other work. All it ever really did was give me a good space to photograph my pieces:)

I will watch “Not Quite Art” and get back to you.

I wish I could see your show!
