Blindside Gallery's Sound Series with Liquid Architecture (L

DEFERRED TO APRIL 2022

Jenny will create a series of songs, including acapela and accompanied for her presentation at Blindside.  The title of the exhibition is Countries so far, Songs so far, Sense so far and is an investigation of Family Systems and epigenetics. There will be song; there will be events, including games;  there will be conversation and debate. Hope you can join in. 

Science took them forward- sample song from Opening Night

  Lyrics

He picked her up in Wolfie’s ute

Nurses and grape vine-workers

Hitting Mount Gambier’s hotspots

Police stopped the homeward lads

‘Seen a missing jumbuck?’ baaaa, baaaa 

lads cried out beneath their tarp 


Science lead them forward

History took them back

Jude a gourmet creative

Ian Australia’s plonky

A family tilting at windmills


She accepted his offer over the Spirit’s

radio, on route to Launceton hospital

Sister Norma, telephonist, eavesdropper witness

Married at St James in Melbourne

Auntie Eve ironed 23 shirts

Jude paid their honeymoon


Science lead them forward

History took them back

Jude a gourmet creative

Ian Australia’s plonky

A family tilting at windmills


Jude sewed kids’ clothes

Her suits were tailor made

Jude loved gardening, growing veg

Ian’s vintage pressures saw kids

Lying on grass, watching evening clouds

Drift by as tigers elephants & clowns


Science lead them forward

History took them back

Jude a gourmet creative

Ian Australia’s plonky

A family tilting at windmills


Barossa valley to Melbourne they created

A famous icon called Gini’s of Toorak

He needed a hip replacement, 2nd in Aus

She found the pressure exhausting

Back to nursing, kids all grown

He became a journalist & an educator


Science lead them forward

History took them back

Jude a gourmet creative

Ian Australia’s plonky

A family tilting at windmills


Kids travelled to Bordeau France

To Saratoga California to Lausanne Swiss

They leased Mount Anakie vineyard 

Ian & Jude visitors, kids creative endeavours

Their passions for caring, food & wine

Remembered in story, song and pictures


Science lead them forward

History took them back

Jude a gourmet creative

Ian Australia’s plonky

A family tilting at windmills
