I am still discovering amazing artworks that Shaw made popping up in people's collections and out and about. It was so good to see Shaw at his recent opening at Feltspace, to enjoy the artworks and to experience the mass of genuine feelings going out to him from the crowd. I am a little out of the loop from the SA School of Art so don't always hear the news, Shaw must have passed away while I was still trying to find the right time to visit him at Mary Potter. I did have a dream perhaps about the time he died - I was with a group of people at a table when all of a sudden I felt this pleasurable feeling in my ear! I thought it was the woman I was sitting next to sticking her tongue in my ear - then turned to the person on the other side and it was Shaw - looking happy and well - so I told him how good he looked but he didn't reply and remained quiet. Shaw was so enthusiastic and supportive of so many artists work including my own and in my experience was just the right person at the right moment to bolster confidence. It was a privilege and a joy to work with Shaw.
Happy Trails Shaw, you won't be forgotten.
