I gave you a standing ovation from my studio 👏👏👏👏👏 as an artist who studied in the early eighties , I had , natch , the Gombrich as one of my textbooks. Needless to say , I was underwhelmed…I was told by more than one male lecturer, that it was such a pity I was so talented, but would soon be getting married and having children and would give up my art practice. It was almost as if they were saying it was a waste to have my place not given to a more deserving male. I was also explicitly for various forms of sex from various lecturers ( male obvs ) , and when I refused one of them , he told me he would fail me . He did . Anyway, in spite of them and because of the great Penny Siopis - who should be in your next book - I graduated top of my class and even though I did get married and have children, I never gave up . I have never worked harder and been more productive than I am at the moment , and am about to have my eighth solo exhibition. I can’t wait to get your book - and I can’t wait to see what else your amazing and beautiful brain will bring us in the future. WELL DONE YOU 👏👏👏👏👏👏💐🎈
This was a really brilliant conversation! I LOVED hearing you talk, and thank you for sharing it And writing the book-(and more to come)!!!!!
