I am encouraged by some of the responses to the online exhibition idea. Several have indicated strong interest by email. I think some people are shy of blogging. It makes me realise how kiwi I am in a way. We have had to be out there to do well in this space down under, but we also have been happy to be removed. We are sometimes both of these states.
I am an out there a bit more than a be removed type. Don’t be shy, your thoughts and words are needed by the world. Just do it!
Hit respond.

Hi. If you received an email regarding this blog or the perhaps this exhibition I hope you will have a look around and see where I am coming from philosphically.
This is all about Aotearoa/New Zealand.
I’d love you to contribute in some way through your work or words. I hope we don’t see to much of the good ole kiwi knocking machine (not one of our better traits), but rather our ‘let’s do it attitude, why not, lets have an adventure kinda response! It’s what birthed us as a nation like at Gallipoli, or sending our products half way round the world to sell. This kind of attitude has left us with a legacy of impacting the larger world in such a way that is far beyond our size .
So lets do it!

I am going to set up a gallery on P base for this exhibition.
Why re-invent the wheelbarrow or the pavalova.
I am setting this up today. Images can be contributed from now on but the exhibition won’t be unveiled to the public until March 20th. SO lets just DO IT!
