CommentThe Cave Evolves
27 August 2008
Jojo has been creating Parabox for 9 days now, and has made great progress. It has been lovely to welcome fellow Hutt City artists to the Gallery, who have been helping her knot the web and staple the card.
It is like walking into a steam-room each day, as the wet cardboard dries slowly to a crisp, and set sculpture.
Come in and watch Jojo’s progress, Thursday to Saturday, 10am to 2pm.
