How are we doing? Is there anything you would like to tell us?
Last year I had the oppprtunity to exhibit my sculptures as part of the Animal Attic exhibition at Otago Musuem . Since then other opportunities for exhibitions at museums and galleries have opened up because of the thoughtful staff and promotions team . The collections at the museum have been very important to my research and the research of students at the school of art and for the students at the university of otago particularly global and environmental studies wher i also play a small part. Dunedin is like a small ecosystem everything here is interconnected to make cuts to the opporating budget at the museum will have a knock on effect one of less opportunities for educators and students at a time when te university is about to loose the German and Asian studies and as the strife at Otago Polytecnic unfolds . ... These are terrifing blows to education . It a tragedy.

What other ideas should we be thinking about to include in future plans for our city?
Touring homegrown exhibitions to promote all the goodwork and goodwill in the community. Some money into the art sector would be appreciated , so that we could look at more contemporary art here.
