Your editor has a case of either covid19 brain or lockdown release - take your pick - so here is a random selection of the items that have crossed the screen.
Lorne looks forward to 2021 to experience how the arts will evolve, how our sculptures and artists will draw inspirations from 'this year' and celebrate these concepts into reality.

I am a provisional Masters by Research candidate with the University of Adelaide researching the life and artwork of the Australian artist and teacher Ian Graham Bow (born 1914, died 1989).
In addition to conducting archival research, I hope to carry out interviews with individuals who knew Bow personally in their capacity as a direct descendant or in his professional life (such as a fellow artist or teacher, or as a student).
Interviews will focus on Ian Bow’s art and life with the objective of writing a biography which is part of a larger study with the working title ‘Ian Bow: sculptor’.
I am seeking your assistance in forwarding this email with attached Participant Information Sheet, Consent Form and Copyright Form to your networks and contacts, particularly those you believe had an association with Ian Bow and who may have formed meaningful memories of him.
The study has been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee at the University of Adelaide (approval number H-2020-032). If you have any questions about the oral history project or the larger Masters study, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your assistance.
Yours sincerely
