horizons II

Part one was of the big vessels, like the ones that loom above Wadjemup lurking about Gage Roads. This time we’re going to talk about the kinds of events that are STILL BIG, but require a little less Melissa participation.

Bilk Reset. I have a deep love and so much gratitude for Helen, Mio and Johannes. They have each pushed and cheered me on in ways that are rare and so remarkable. I hope the Bik Reset sees them enjoying themselves as a family, rather than as a gallery, and gives them each a bit more time to pursue their artistic and other interests. Australian jewellery will miss you all, but my word, thank you for all you have done!
