General comments from the public:

The figures in Table Eight would look lovely pinned up around the space.

“Flossie, I agree that the routine of the eating ritual around a table is becoming a rare event in homes. Is there a reason your scarf people are folded at the table on their seat? Should we be unfolding them to view their full extent? ”

We’ve got our first school group coming this morning so will let you know how they enjoy it.  Will look forward to meeting you in May,

cheers, Sally

Hi Sally, I just thought…There are pictures of most of the SCARF PEOPLE in the book ‘Art and Soul’ which is the official catalogue. You can point these out to visitors or open one up for interested folks.

Part of the reason the scarves are folded up is to add to ‘the mystery’ of the person, as found in real life. We all have hidden parts to ourselves. The folding also echoes Wendy’s holding of Peter Pan’s shadow when it got caught in her room, set away for posterity.

Hi Flossie,

Thanks, Sally,

This comment is from Nerida…there can only be one Nerida who knows my work! How is it that she was in Wangaratta? How wonderful! Nerida’s husband is a minister like mine. I have admired her for years and she has taken a supportive role considering my art. Nerida knows the work I am involved in and the Church too. I am thrilled to have her as a fan!

One question came from the Vic State Gov Minister for the Arts the
honourable Peter Batchelor when he visited on Friday. He wanted to know the
significance of the names on the chairs…

Thanks, Di. Good question! The chairs are named to represent my six children, my husband and myself who all are in the freefall called ‘ family’. This random launching is the same for everyone whether in their birth family or extended family…only the names change but the challenges stay the same…hoping we all land on our feet! This applies to parents, children and those who support others.

Many thanks,

Flossie
