For the first few days after arriving at Montsalvat we worked on Choose Your Day, a multi-panelled work on paper on which we had collaborated  via mail and email. It felt a bit like Christmas as we each unpacked the panels we had each been holding and spread them on the floor. I (Susan Buret) had been coating dutch rag paper with cyanotype chemicals and exposing them to various weather conditions in southern New South Wales. I then made gouache additions to some of the works before forwarding them to Nicola Moss in South east Queensland for further additions and to be assembled into a multi-panelled.
With a few more additions and an elaborate assemblage of fishing wire and bulldog clips we constructed the final 15 panel work  which now hangs on the lime washed roughly rendered  stone in the poolside studio.
