BACKSTORIES Artist Celebration Part 2

The BACKSTORIES Artist Celebration at Stephen McLaughlan Gallery last Saturday is something I’ll long remember. Since publishing my own photos of the event, I’ve been sent additional photographs. I’m thrilled to have them because they contain images of people who slipped through the net in the first round. 

As Stephen McLaughlan, who took the first three shots below, remarked, the photos are a useful record of attendees. But more than that, they hold precious memories of a very special day. 

Huge thanks to Julie Keating for sending through the remaining photographs. That’s Julie herself in the red and white spotted mask in Stephen’s photo second from the top and with Loris Button in the very last picture below.
