FLUSH IT AWAY
An overbearing locally made product promoting ‘progress’ has appeared on the national political
horizon as if we’re a bunch of galahs. Australians are beguiled into “buying” self-interest
masquerading as national interest.
Too Much Reality
Images documenting the horrors of our world, relayed to us daily by the media, are sealed like a time capsule in a TV screen / body-bag.
Wars, nuclear disasters, extinction of species, catastrophic outcomes of human greed.
Like the ‘unzipped’ area of glass letting in light, we are beginning to question things more. Yet humankind cannot bear too much reality.

Art Attack
ART ATTACK refers to the axing of the Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards by the current premier, the philistine Campbell Newman. For me as an immigrant, the annual Premiers’ lists have functioned as a guide to the best reading. My stack of books that have won this or similar awards, have played a vital role in my coming to understand and engage with Australian culture.
The barbarism of Newman’s act is reflected in the rawness of the work with it bloodied pick – a tool used for coal mining. The sculpture’s violence also reflects the disturbing extent to which art and artists are undervalued in Australia
Pandoras Plague
This mosquito is a visual metaphor for personal fears which connect to global terrors. Through misguided interventions often founded on the provision of self-determination; deceit, greed and self-righteousness has detonated a genocidal plague of evils on civilian populations to irrevocably erase human liberty, built heritage, cultural identity and collective memory.
