Our residency in Ballarat has come to an end. The exhibition works are completed, and Zakir and Intekhab have mended a variety of textiles brought in from far and wide.
All that remains is to thank those who have made us welcome- Gordon Morrison and his very special team at the gallery, as well as members of the local Indian community and Dulcie Corbett, who hosted dinners for us. We also thank those who contributed to the project in various ways- the Trades Hall, Evan Evans, Hilton Fabrics, and John Dullus.
My personal thanks go to Dulcie who took me in and helped in so many ways, to ArtsWA for their travel assistance, and to Craft Victoria for inviting me to participate in this wonderful project.
Finally, my thanks to Intekhab, Zakir and Priya for their gift of friendship, and for sharing their cultural traditions. Their presence in Ballarat has enriched the lives of the many people who came to visit during our residency.
We are all eager to return home, but we are taking happy memories with us.
