A very quick day trip to Sydney with Rebecca Staunton Coffey to see the Kandinsky exhibition and the amazing Louise Bourgeois exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Gobsmacked at the intensity and wonder of the Bourgeois exhibition and glad we saw it after Kandinsky. I loved the Kandinsky works yet I'd seen some of them at the Guggenheim in New York a decade or so ago. I knew what to expect and this time went with the lens of deconstruction and quilt making. How would I achieve that in fabric? Look what the subtle change of tone does here! Off white is powerful, who knew? The Bourgeois exhibition, across two floors of the Gallery moved me to tears. No doubt for me it was the best exhibition I've ever attended, anywhere and will stay with me for a very long time.
