Four happy artists: Heather Shimmen, Rona Green, Paul
Compton and myself pictured during Day 1 of the installation of Wonder Room at Maroondah Art Gallery. Much credit for the exhibition's elegant design
belongs to assistant curator Clinton Greenwood, who appears in both photographs
at the top and, most notably, bottom left, in which the heroic hang of Rona
Green's monumental painting Bogey Man has been captured for posterity. In the
same shot, far left, is gallery volunteer Jennifer, who was also an essential
part of Team Wonder Room. Also pictured are Clinton, Paul and Rona. To the
right of this photo Heather Shimmen unveils her much anticipated Wonder Broom to the delight of Paul Compton. It now magically hovers over the other Wonder Room
exhibits in Gallery 1.
For those still contemplating a visit, the show runs
until 30 November. As you enter, don't forget to look up.
