CANVAS FLOWN TO BROOME FOR WATER DAMAGE INSPECTION
Peter Murray
Last Wednesday (11/01) the Ngurrara Canvas was successfully transported from Fitzroy Crossing to the KLC offices in Broome. It was a smooth operation with a great crew on the ground at Karrayili - thank you to the team, who came together with very little notice! In Broome the canvas was placed across tables in the KLC conference rooms to allow air to circulate over the work and to check its condition. It seems that the quick thinking of everyone in Fitzroy has saved the canvas from any lasting water damage. It was managed very well with regular checks done by Amber and others.
A thorough inspection has revealed several areas where very small areas of paint have chipped off. There are also several areas where the thicker paint has cracked but these are barely visible. We have been monitoring these areas and little has changed. They are definitely not the result of the flood event.
Work will begin to prepare the canvas for storage in Broome. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Sarah Parriman sarah.parriman@klc.org.au or Karen Dayman on karen.dayman@klc.org.au or on: 0429 502 564 / 0429 915 051.
