Gargoyles Galore!

[klward]

To all aficionados of the grotesque and graven: I have an article, "Australian Gargoyles", in this month's Art Monthly Australia. A colloquial history of gargoyles in Australia, incorporating commentary from contemporary sculptors and photos taken in three cities (and during two SF conventions). Art Monthly Australia is readily available in newsagents nationwide; gargoyles, too, can be found throughout this country in a bewildering variety of sizes, shapes and symbolism. They are excellent subject for photography but hard to interview. Still, I have done my best.

Yes, my icon is smoking. I'm sure I couldn't say what, but he's stoned.

Rock on, Kyla! V Happy for you.

I'll take some extra shots of the gargoyles on Notre Dame when I'm in Paris later this month. ('Did he say PARIS?' 'Yes, he said PARIS, as in FRANCE' ) Though, if they start singing utterly unmemorable show tunes, I'm leaving.

Well, I assumed it wasn't Paris as in 'mythological trojan prince recently portrayed by Orlando Bloom'. Excellent news! David and I didn't get up to see the gargoyles on our trip, we only had forty-eight hours in Paris and the queue was huge!

Hope you have a wonderful time! Remember, it is perfectly normal to feel dizzy after about an hour in the Louvre.
