We had another busy day today. After our opening/closing party last night, Helen Cole kindly invited us all back to her house where her husband had cooked up a Spanish feast of tapas and paella, where we had a lovely evening with them, Noreen Grahame of Grahame Galleries + Editions, and the artist Normana Wight.
This morning, Sarah met with Helen again at State Library Queensland where she had a tour of the amazing building, and Helen chose some of her favourite artists’ books to study for the morning, whilst Paul met with second and third year printmaking students at QCA to talk about digital printmaking.
This afternoon, we decamped to the underneath of Tim’s house to make sheets of black paper, in which we floated all the leftover letters and ghost scraps from the gallery walls that we had swept up last night. We then pressed the paper, and later this evening, we visited the underground car park and attached them to the walls and ceilings to let them dry against the concrete and pick up any texture from the lines and holes (we are not sure if this is a normal way to spend a Friday night but it worked well). Tomorrow morning we will retrieve them and take them back to POP gallery for the final clear up and share out, as we will all take some home to make into books to return to Tim as a complete set.
