At the museum
Textiles are my passion and I can really appreciate the time and effort that goes into making items like this.  What makes them even more special is the cultural significance they hold for the maker and the viewer.
These are Biting Bags, "Small dilly bags held in the mouth and bitten to display and suppress aggression during battles and mourning rituals in the parts of the Northern Territory".  It is a facinating history.

On Sunday I did the excursion around the Museum using MLA .. Still a bit glitchy with it dropping out and then rebooting with out my answers to the questions.  Oh well I know I have done it and it was a great experience.  It certainly made me look deeper into the exhibits and to appreciate them in a new light.

My little boy enjoying the James Tylor 'Territorial Encounters' exhibition at CACSA 4/8/16...Hopefully our studies in this subject can help future generations to have better understanding of the story of indigenous peoples, which in the long term, can't be a bad thing. We can try, anyway.

I'll never forget a conversation I had when I was lucky enough to be in Italy with my family years ago. A salesman began telling us about the history of the stones in the street out the front of his store. It has ever since made me think that I just don't know enough about Adelaide's history, but too easily dismissed this in the belief that our city wasn't old enough to have that kind of history. That's not true at all! Its incredible to think of the impossible AGE of some of our South Australian landmarks in the NATURAL landscape, but we so often seem to forget this. I certainly did! This definitely opened my eyes to a whole portion of rich history that is so often overlooked and omitted.
