A friend and I drove 5 hours west to Hill End (normally takes 3.5 hours) to visit an artist called Juz Kitson. Hill End is a very old gold mining town which started around the 1850′s: http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-factsheet/hill-end–culture-and-history-20081120-6c00.html

Juz is a Sydney based artist who had a months residency in the old butchers shop and was using that time to create and sculpt her amazing works.

Here’s a few images from the weekend. The orange images are from my $2 ‘happy glasses’ that I purchased Surry Hills Markets. They make the world a better place….
