Checking out Compassion - the artists' book exhibition

Compassion Artists' Book Exhibition officially opens at 3pm tomorrow afternoon (Saturday 29 June). Fiona and I will be there for the official opening; but because we were down the coast for an appointment we took the opportunity to have a peek whilst the exhibition was in its final set-up stage.  The gallery was open.

It is quite amazing just how many works are on show - but given the number of artists I guess it is to be expected.

Fiona and I were able to check out our pieces. A few images of mine and our collaborative books follow.

I think there will be quite a buzz at the opening tomorrow.
