I am recovering from my purge of artistic delights some of you might know as the Adelaide Festival and its young rival, the Adelaide Fringe. It was a short and very sweet experience this year for me as I had only 4 days to immerse myself before flying overseas.
During that brief time I was blindfolded, tied up and then dragged through a sensory maze of delights, frights whilst meeting the most caring strangers. Pulled through a secret door into a wonderland of you-wont-believe-what-happened. (If you must know I was transformed into a beautiful unicorn sparkling with pearls and bling but my camera was confiscated so I don't think you'd ever believe me.) Watched a loveable larrikan tumble and fumble on stage. Listened to a marching band play sexual healing whilst I watched a good friend get married inside Barrio. Found myself a lovely derby girl & got hitched myself before dancing the night away under the stars.
Not your average art adventure but that is the point. Art is meant to be what you want it to be. That is why I love my town and its quirky sense of fun. So what does a recovering artaholic going to do now??
All life affirming art suggestions welcome.
With the mad March Festivals over & a couple of weeks until the Street Art Festival begins April 20th, how about making some Art to fill the artaholic void you find yourself in?
ReplyDeleteI bet you would have plenty of ideas.
You read my mind, I cant wait to see the Street Art Festival later this month. I'll see if time permits for an art creation but April is sizing to be a Roller Derby heavy month.
