The Gallery and the Christchurch Earthquake

Everybody coming into the gallery from overseas is very affected by the earthquake. All of our thoughts go out to those in Christchurch. It is strange that we are continuing here in the gallery and our family and friends in Christchurch are suffering. The Christchurch art gallery was built by a very good architect and it has been set up as the main area for emergency services. We are very mindful of the artists who have been hurt and displaced down there and the loss of the art work.
