It was long trek to get to the Himalayas Museum in Zhujiajiao (the water town where I’m staying for the next six days). An Australian artist, Dominic Redfern, is also showing and staying here, fantastic to have someone to talk to and eat out with! Plus, now that night has fallen, it’s much less creepy knowing that I’m not by myself in this maze of stone and wood courtyards.
My bamboo order arrived safely at the Museum, thank goodness, so I can start work nice and early tomorrow morning. The boat that is here is definitely not the boat on the picture I was sent, but it is definitely the one they want me to work with, so I will see what I can do. Really lovely to catch up with some of the students from SIVA again too – they seem a bit panicked, but then I’m panicked with only four days till the opening. Argh!
