Last weekend I visited the Waterhouse Art Prize a fabulous annual exhibition that is shown in Canberra and Adelaide by the South Australian Museum. I recommend anyone to attend, currently showing at the National Archives. Works by various artists and in many different mediums, lots of 3D forms, a combination of natural history and art.
