What to do on a rainy day

A rainy day today on the Gold Coast - when I woke just before 5am, and pretty much all day until about 5pm.

Kathy went shopping at Harbour Town, and after dropping her off there, Rowie and I visited the Gold Coast City Art Gallery at Bundall and another at Mudgeeraba, where we saw the Darcy Doyle competition exhibition.

At GCCAG we were able to view a new exhibition "The History of Violence", a study of the convict settlement of Australia some 22o years ago. As a contemporary exhibition by two artists, i was impressed by the variety of the work we saw. Retrospection is of course a wonderful way to view the past, but many of the pieces made quite an impact on us.

A couple of views follow - a "Sorry" sculpture, and bust made with various fabrics (one of a series). All very naughty, really, as no photos are allowed in the gallery.
