So being a keen diary/journal writer, I've considered starting a blog for a really long time now... so this is going to be good practice! Normally I prefer to write by pen to paper...something about writing on a keyboard makes it more difficult to be honest and express my thoughts and feelings...maybe theres a possibility for that to change.
So I went to see the Patricia Piccinini exhibition that Alison has meantioned a few times on the weekend, would definately recommend it, even just to experience the shocked faces and gasps of other visitors! We got so involved with the exhibition the 10 or so security gaurds working at the art gallery had to escort us out at closing time....cmon Perth- cant you keep the gallery open past 5pm on a Friday eve?
Anyway, I've included a photo of my favorite piece, I automatically assumed the figures to be male and female, while my friend understood them to be mother and child..its interesting we decided they had gender at all.
If you go to the website of Patricia Piccinini you can see some of the exhibition and view this video that was showing there, called 'the gathering' which was totally wierd...
Ok ill leave it there, c ya in class!

I took them to be two male stags fighting for dominance...but fetishised as we do with scooters and stags
