Images of Canberra - Civic public art walking tour Episode 8, Fused Glass

Oh I see, and there was I thinking there was some sort of rule about no photography inside the Leg. Ass. building.
Or perhaps JB is banned from entering therein?
-Whatever, ‘confusion, compromise and gridlock’ reads as well this evening as it did this morning!

well you can see it fine from the square, and the sliding doors were working on the day.

My wife came home from the Kingston Markets on the weekend with some coasters that look remarkably like some of those individual panels. She paid about $5 each max – I’m sure every Canberran has been past the coaster stall at least once, it’s in the way of my route to the mulled wine guy.

While I’m sure that the gummnuts paid an exorbitant sum for this work of Super High Impact Tapestry, surely if the public own it, then the public should be allowed access to it and not require any kind of telephoto lens to view it ?

Am I wrong in thinking that it’s publicly owned ?

**Disclaimer**
I am aware the work is not a tapestry. You are indended to read the capital letters; If you made it this far without realising that then areaman I suggest you read it again.

The door was open, I was no more than 10 metres away. But the camera does have a good zoom and shake-supression. I should note that we used two different cameras for the series.

Haha, beautifully expressed, JB! My previous suicidal despair (on hearing Caz’ sad news, other posting) has been lifted by this gem.
By the way, if indeed you took the snap from public land in Civic Sq (presumably through a window or some other crevice in the brickwork), I have to marvel at the quality of both your steady hand and the telephoto lens on the camera…
