a day at GOMA

today i went to GOMA with my daughters class.  before today i had not been to see the surrealism exhibition: the poetry of dreams, nor the torres strait islands exhibition: land, sea and sky.  i highly recommend both before they finish on the 2 October.

i was absolutely amazed at the print makers works in the land, sea and sky exhibition.  they were so incredibly detailed, incredibly huge, they just blew me away.  i was well into the exhibition before i thought to take a photo (no flash) as a memento to share with you.

this just blew me away, it is a lino print

the surrealism exhibition was also excellent.  it was wonderful to see works so well known in one place. the interactive area for kids was captivating and so well organised (as it always is!) and the book: surrealism for kids, is a direct reflection of this area.  a worthwhile buy.

the artwork grace and i did ...

i hope you enjoy them as much as i did.

best wishes
