Melbourne we have Summer! And the best summer party is the ASV opening on Herring island... well... but we all enjoyed it: catching up with sculptors, relaxing after the set up and receiving that boost when you see your work appreciated and set up under lights. Thank goodness the lights are LED’s these days - remember the heat from halogens?
