This is an invitation,
To an event where this, will take place,
These are the official tickets,
To the opening of this,
This, is my third baby this year. This is what I do when I'm not being a mother, or a crafter, and how I earn my living. I am very proud of this building and the involvement I have had with it. I am proud of the design work I have bought to the interior spaces, and the hard work I have put in to achieve good outcomes, and to have been given the opportunity to work with Kerry and Lyndsay Clare on their building. I am so thrilled I was able to go to the opening - to see it all complete, to see fruition of ideas, to see my clients again, and to see the magnificent job they have done with the 5th Asia Pacific Triennial. The artwork is superb. And the children's gallery with their interactive kids activities is fantastic. But the building itself is so lovely and elegant, and a true testimony to the dedication of design.
amazing...

Congratulations! So pleased for you- I've heard great things about it already.
There's something so satisfying about working on public buildings, and seeing how many people get to experience the results- for me that's the real reward for all your effort and energy.

wow alison -it's beautiful. You should be very proud. I know from experience the amount of work and effort and LABOUR that goes into making both buildings and babies, and making buildings is hands down one hundred times harder. Congratulations.
