Being an admirer of Jon Cattapan’s artwork for quite some time, I couldn’t pass up an opportunity today to hear him speak about his processes. The QUT Art Museum often has artist speakers on a Saturday morning after an opening, and although I live an hour West of Brisbane it is always worth the effort to attend.

How words and art connect
A recent quote from long time Australian musician Vince Jones caught my eye in the Weekend Australian paper on the 18th March. Vince talked of integrity and always playing at the highest level. He said that being a musician requires dedication and practice and it was his description regarding music as art, and how art unites people, that resonated with me. Vince believes that art has an impact on people’s souls; the opaque becomes visible, the mysterious clear and the probable necessary.
