Wednesday Day 11

Busy day-spent the morning struggling to coax photos out of a huge 6x7 Mamiya, with mixed success - made a trip to the Chinese Museum documenting the past of the community in town-a circular hall wrapped around with the enormous paper dragons which feature in the Easter parade. Tried to get permission to film. Then cycled out of Bendigo to visit the original Chinese cemetry-rows of tiny stones and mounded graves in amongst the more ornate European stones. the modesty and separateness gives one pause. On the way passed a car graveyard which had a different resonance. In the evening met various curators and friends of the gallery-some interesting festival proposals which might include the installation are in the offing.
