My talented cousin Joe is part of an exhibition now showing at the Tasmanian Design Centre, so I knew we had to take time out to go and see it. On a Friday I'm lucky enough to have a Nanny come for a few hours so I can book a few "appointments" (Usually lazy lunches and a wine or two with friends), so on the Friday just gone, I took Poppy and my Nanna (Poppy's Great Nanna) to the design centre to check it out.
I had been there a few times before and have been amazed at the beautiful exhibits.
Many pieces are made out of Tasmanian woods or by Tasmanian designers.
Joe's Conceptual building blocks were with out a doubt Poppy's favourite, it was the only exhibit where the sign said "Play with exhibit" instead of "Don't touch exhibit" and she stayed there while we finished having a look around.
We have some of Joe's building blocks in our home, and they are a favourite with the children, you will find a few of his lovely kitchen boards in my kitchen and if I am really truthful (don't tell my husband) you will also find two (OK three) of his funky bangles in my jewellery collection.
It was a beautiful exhibit and I came away very inspired in my own little way.
I look forward to seeing what next months exhibit brings.
