You can read more about them, the event and get your free registration on, at the <a href=\"https:\/\/events.humanitix.com\/artist-talk-sick-af\">Cannery Art Centre<\/a> website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who can&#8217;t make it there is, as always for the Sick AF series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@SICKAFcollective\/streams\">an online live-stream<\/a> to see and support the show. And as our curator Amanda reminded us artists this week, if you can&#8217;t attend live, you can come back and watch later. After the opening she will <a href=\"https:\/\/sickaf.amandaalderson.com\/\">publish images<\/a> on the Sick AF site and as ever you can see the progress of the exhibition as it journeys with the AOTM team <a href=\"https:\/\/artonthemove.art\/exhibition\/sick-af\/\">on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday morning, as part of the promotions for the opening, talk and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canneryartscentre.com.au\/workshops\/encodingwithrecyclables\">workshop I&#8217;m leading on Sat the 15th of March (also FREE!)<\/a> I did a short interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/listen\/programs\/goldfields-breakfast\/breakfast\/106370766\">Goldfields\/Esperance ABC radio<\/a>. For the impatient among us, jump to approx 38m:40sec and you can hear my not-so-dulcet tones talking with Chris Edmondson about the theme of the show, my work in it, and the idea that art making really is for everyone. I don&#8217;t have to tell you, choristers, that working with your mind and hands in concert is a therapy that enriches all types of bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking forward to being on the move with Art on the Move next month, and I hope I&#8217;ll see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh yeah, it&#8217;s time!
