12. Cycle - Opening night - thank you people

​It is now officially open.  Along with Sidney Nolan: Drought, Robert Hirschmann: Past Night and Hui Sellwood: Cubi and other passages is my exhibition Nicola Mason: Cycle open now and on until 5 June 2022.
 
Last night Bathurst Councillor Margaret Hogan had the official honours of opening the exhibitions.  Her words were heartfelt with her clear passion and support for the arts, artists and community.  Thank you, Marg and thank you too to Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) Director Sarah Gurich who with her words, weaved in her late-night tawny frogmouth sorrowful encounter viscerally linking the artists exhibitions.  
 
To all the staff at BRAG and the volunteers at BRAGS, you have been a delight to work with.  Big thanks to everyone involved, up front and behind the scenes.  And of course, Tracy Sorensen, Novelist and Craftivist your insightful catalogue essay is a ripper.
 
To all those who came to the opening and celebrated – thank you.  There is a wonderful feeling of being held by community at such events.  And the hugest thanks to my family.  Rocks you are.
 
This whole thing has felt like a rich gift, and it continues …
