May is our daughter’s middle name, the title of a 2002 American horror flick starring Angela Bettis, and apparently Brain Tumor Awareness month (yep I do not lie) . . . BUT most importantly it is the month we are hosting our next exhibition - WESTOGRAPHY by local photographer Warren Kirk. Warren is a lover of all things old, a hunter and collector of images and a documenter of the past. At a time when the area is going through rapid change and development, Warren has meticulously documented ‘old school Footscray’ and surrounding suburbs with intuition and heart. It is easy to make Warren squirm . . . just call him an artist. But you know what folks . . . . he really is! Join us for the opening on May 17th from 6 – 8pm. Exhibition runs till the 31st of May.
On the eve of packing up the show we had the very talented Mercury Megaloudis come to do a photo shoot using the Steampunk themed rooms. Modeling Clockwork Butterfly’s outfits were Silhouette d’Amour, Brend Bunte, Chris Bennett, Kerry x and Ixia Black . . . and of course the poodle who’s name escapes me right now? The pooch gave us a run for our money by refusing to stay put on the table but in the end proved himself a pro by pulling out some stella poses! Mad Uncle Cliff dropped by and all up we had loads of fun doing the shoot. Can’t wait to see the finished pics from Mercury . . . but for now you will have to contend with mine . . .
Olivia's in today and tomorrow from 2 - 5pm. Here is a pic of Olivia at work . . . .
