“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’
Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

DRINKSTER co-conspirator George Grainger Aldridge, recently pictured here at his home in the Flinders Rangers, will stage an exhibition of new work at The Garage Bar, 163 Waymouth Street, Adelaide at 6:30 on Friday November 21st. Maria Cmielewski and Jodie Willman will also show recent work. Bring your plastic, and join us for a glass or six! Below are a few hints at where George's new creations are headed ... as you can see, some of these works were unfinished when I last visited his studio ... photos Philip White
