Watershed opens with a splash

There was a big turnout and a grand opening of Watershed at McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery Melbourne. Martyn Myer opened this first Australian solo exhibition to a guest list that included many Myer family members, friends and clients as well as a cross section of the Melbourne art and business world.

Martyn Myer said in his speech at the opening: "Martin Hill’s work and philosophy closely accords with ours in regard to the ecologically sustainable development of the planet, particularly with respect to water. The sculptures seek to address these issues in a powerful way."

Philippa and I spent a week in Melbourne which had begun with the installation of a splashed clay work on the gallery wall and ended with an hour long public "Art Chat" with gallery director Robert Lindsay.

We are grateful for the support of the Louise and Martyn Myer Foundation and Creative New Zealand in mounting the Watershed exhibition which runs until 27 April.
