studio time




I sent off my finished artwork to Grafton Art Gallery a couple of weeks ago under considerable time pressure. I used a plaster mold to help make the basic shapes for Fairytales in fairyland. I made seven versions of mythical Australia. This one is 'On the sheeps back' (each sheep is stamped with 457, referring to Australian 457 guest worker visas). The show opens in July along with local artists like Katka Adams and Avital Sheffer.
