Artistic Director John McPhee and Creative Director Lou Weis welcomed people to the first instalment of Broached Commissions; Broached Colonial with enlightening dissertations on the project and the individual works. Explaining and dedicating the work to Australia’s brave forefathers, it was a delight to witness each of the six artist’s interpretations of that period and the guests interactions with each product.
