Arty Baby


Today Baby Naomi & I had a fabulous morning at the MCA! It was an unexpected invitation from Cousin Bronwyn which saw us zoom into town and in a blink of an eye be transported from dirty nappies to ... well, modern art. Naomi's favourite was Sunley Smith's enormous film projection of furniture being dragged behind a car driving along a dirt road. I thought it was a bit obtuse but she did make a good point about the notion of forward motion being vital to the work, as it is to her pram.

The highlights for Bronwyn were the Yinka Shonibare exhibition (big time commentary on cultural imperialism) and getting to ride in the secret goods lift thanks to lady with baby in pram!
