Swell Festival 2017

It was great timing that Swell Festival (happening down at Currumbin beach) coincided with Ben's birthday. I've always wanted to go but for some reason or other the trip never eventuated. So happy, this year we got to take in all the beautiful sculptures on display - enjoy!
















The crab was the winner of the comp, the council buys the sculpture so it will become a permanent feature, how cool :)














Any favs? I think the crab was a stellar choice for the winner :)

GOMA turns 10

The gallery of modern art turned 10 and to celebrate they put on an amazing show with some big show stopping exhibits! It was also the most crowded I've ever seen it so I had to keep reminding myself that everyone was probably wishing it was a little less packed and wished that Ben and I would have stayed home that day :p 









It was my first time to see a Ron Mueck piece in person and wow! how amazing - awe smacked for sure!



To remember all the artists and titles I take a photo of the info following the photo of the artwork - makes life much easier! GOMA was pretty packed that you even needed to line up to read the info card!





This fur was amazing and even though my hair has definitely faded, I still felt like I fitted in :)



Everyone was doing it!





They even had a giant slide down the middle!







A lot of the exhibitions had been in previous collections, including this installation where you can write a letter and leave it behind and you can also read those left behind by others :)









Afterwards we walked over to the museum to get inspiration for clay making!
I'll be doing a seperate post for all my museum photos :) :)
