The person was trying to contextualise the other's artistic pursuits, and couldn't think of another way to describe them. As textile, fine art, craft and ceramics were all included.theregathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04956028783556947063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557954218760161620.post-4576068198227709992012-06-02T18:40:29.534+10:002012-06-02T18:40:29.534+10:00Hi, therigatha

wondering if you can help. What does...Hi Parlance,<br />wondering if you can help. What does it mean when someone says "she is soooo catholic" or "you are so catholic"?
