Art Walk

I'm not talking about the kind of organised art walk, like the Mosman Art Trail or the sculpture ramble at Gibbs farm.











I was walking to the Belvoir Theatre from my home and passed these gems by Scottie Marsh, too good not to stop and snap.(above and left)








And of course the inclusive welcome of an inner city Sydney theatre. (As an aside, I'm a fan of the now huge unisex toilets mainly because it's solved the problem of the far too long line every interval in the Women's bathroom! For the first time ever I zipped through and still had time to chat with my friends.) If there are still tickets to August Osage County, get them. It's so good, and very funny.







On the weekend, we parked and walked to STC for Celia Pacquola (if they televise that show, all new mothers should watch it. I thought it was great on that new born experience, as well as being just hilarious - My husband also liked it, so it's not a female exclusive experience).




This one was walking to see Rumours in the cinema (I thought it was very funny but it won't be for everyone). We think there might be only one day where the light hits it to reflect on the footpath (I'm not sure that's correct but we had an impromptu discussion on art which is always lovely). This work is by Pipilotti Rist (the Swiss artist whose work was exhibited at the MCA a few years ago).





This was on my morning walk - I had to investigate further and I love that the trees reflected look like they are growing from these ornate trunks....

  5. The flowers in the first art scene look spectacular. But I would move the green box.
