What a day it was yesterday! I was up by 7am and out the door by 9:30am. All my gear fitted in my bag and my little blue trolley. The day was nice, clear and fine - just as we had hoped it would be. And it wasn't a scorching hot day either.
The Art Installation was called 'The Pop-Up Museum' (I didn't know it was called that until yesterday afternoon) and it attracted a lot of attention from the public. People were reading my book and enjoying the pages in the trees as well as the other artist's collections. It turned out to be a great hang-out spot for a lot of people. And as the day wore on, and the sun moved, there was plenty of shade thrown by our tree and it was used by the performance poets and community choirs. People enjoyed the shade and basked in the sun as well; lazing about under the tree with the extra plastic leaves, reading my pink/red leaves and the larger ones of green that Doug Cartwright had put up.
Too soon, though, it had all had to come down. We were all tired from the day, eating and laughing. I had gone to the jumble sale and bought myself plenty of goodies to add to my various collections and scored myself a first edition of an American poet from 1968 - which stunned my fellow collectors - for only $2. My brother, his fiance and my niece were there to see the installation; only to unfortunately take off and not able to see the rest of the festival. Oh well, there's always next year's. I hope you enjoy the photos below I've put together.
