I was so baffled and almost upset!, by the auctioning of a banana by a reputable company and then for it to sell at 6.2million dollars. Which meant that people were bidding for the banana until it reached that amount! It is a joke. But a joke that also cause me to question the validity of the value we place on artworks. It is perhaps a canary in the coalmine. So what can one do except paint one's own version of the banana duct taped with the words, More Money Than Sense. Make a statement.
At the opening of the book launch of The Studio Project
The turnout to the book launch and exhibition was great to see. This was a celebration of the creative presence of artists on the Sunshine Coast. I feel very lucky to be included. The artwork that I included 'Truth Extinguished' held it's place amongst the other works too. The exhibition will be on until the 5th Dec. The gallery is called Cool Arts Coolum. 43 Access Drive, Coolum. The gallery is also a framers. I like the space. Run by really good people. Jo and Erin. If you can, drop in. With 42 artworks and an accompanying photographic portrait of each artist by Christine Hall, it makes for an interesting exhibition.
