Rushcutters Bay openings Thurs night

Simon and I took a bus/train combo to get to Kings Cross then walked down the hill. Arrived at Arthouse Gallery the room was already full at 10 past 6, we took in the pictures by James Ettelson, whose show we’d come to see but there was also a collection of photos by Kate Ballis.

 The above photo is me in front of one of Ettelson’s larger works, he also had prints available for sale. Ballis’ photos are quite large too and in mainly three colours, somehow she’d contrived a camera that turns vegetation a sort of rusty red.

To vary the scene we traipsed down to Sally Dan-Cuthbert’s gallery and took in a range of artists’ works, including these by Rive Roshan which are quite striking in their elegant simplicity. I also appreciated Tammy Kanat’s embroideries.
