Dr Anne and Lois went to a contemporary exhibition of art at the Ian Potter Centre at the National Gallery of Victoria.
Ah Xian (b.1960)was the recipient of the 2009 Clemenger Contemporary Art Award. It was a personal exploration of cultural and spiritual identity.
There were 36 concrete cast busts - a palate of the modern city. Imprinted on each one was the delicate foliage of different plant species.
It was an elegant response to environmental degredation, the encroachment of urban development on the landscape and the inherent fragility of life.

Afterwards there was a visit to the tea shop for some awsome looking cakes which tasted as good as they looked.
