Thats a worry,

I'm not going to pretend to be politically oriented. But the events in the past few months, even I can see, will have a detrimental effect on art in Australia. Not the quality of it, or the passion from the artisan side of things, but the market which can indulge in it's purchase and support will shrink all the more. From a general position, art is a luxury, a decadence for the conscientious with vision and understanding. I'm concerned that it will become much harder before it gets any better for artists with talent and potential to get their voices heard. Maybe that's a good thing, a phase of metamorphosis. Maybe not, another obstacle in the lost road. 


Its a worry, and if I'm worried, I am sure many other people are too.


But what can we do with this worry!?    transform it into an opportunity ?
Anything is possible...
