Paula Dawson is a famous Sydney-based hologram artist (and curator). The panorama shows her this morning with a new installation (self-portrait holograms) in an innercity workshop space. 11:50:33 PM

The State government has decided to chop down a row of trees alongside the Domain - claiming that they are moribund and prone to drop limbs on the public. Local Green politicians say it is a ploy to get more rentable space for commercial uses of the Domain. The panorama from yesterday morning shows a gathering of concerned local artists. Here is a group shot. The Domain trees, especially Moreton Bay figs like this, have long been a popular motif for Sydney artists eg. this Brett Whitely drawing. 1:08:33 PM

Easter weekend is the busiest period at the Show and I went along again on Saturday.  The panorama shows the District Exhibits of farm produce -- and the crowds gawking at them.The District Exhibits are a gigantic competitive piece of group folk art - vegetable art -  and the aesthetic quality varies from year to year -- this year's displays were better than average I thought (the drought is over so there is lots of good produce available so that might have given the designers more scope than last year). 12:35:19 AM

The Sydney Royal Easter Show started yesterday -- and I went along last night and did this panorama in the Cattle Pavilion. The funnel-shaped objects hanging from the roof are part of the ventilation system. 3:50:13 AM
