Letter from the President

Gillian Govan

It was rather disappointing that so few members were at the AGM as Sanne Mestrom was a great speaker and entertainer. She showed photos of her works explaining her thoughts and reasoning behind them. One group of works was an installation of pieces made from the leftovers of other artist work. This led me to think how fortunate we are to have the language of art to be able to express our own concerns about the future of our planet; and how we can influence humanity about the problems that exist around us. Global warming, Pollution and disposal of our ever accumulating waste as well encouraging the use of windpower, solar and geothermal energy.

Sanne speaking at the AGM

Sanne Mestrom http://www.mestrom.org/ gave a great talk about her work and processes - and about her journey in the art world. This was enough to inspire a visit to TarraWarra where a select few of us saw and learned a whole lot more.
