Value the artist
Collaboration with Mildura artist and sign writer Terry (Moose) McGowan of McGowan Signs, Mildura VIC, Australia. Over a 10 day residency, Moose and I worked together developing two installations that responded to the pre-election economic and social climate in Australia. Value the Artist was a direct response to the recent arts funding cuts.
Residency proudly supported by the The Art Vault and McGowan Signs. Special thanks to Mildura City for the wall!
Training pressure! Moose trusting me to paint the shadows
