'the divided self' footpath gallery june-july 2008

the 'pizza family' is a brilliantly funny accident in packaging... it tells a whole story as it sits abandoned on a shop front top step... changing signs to say something else is of course an old one, some of them are particularly clever, this one is pretty standard stuff, but still catches a smile by observant passers by

this is a 'permanent' artwork in the grounds at the fremantle art centre...a whole collection of books buried into the earth. usually public art in open spaces is durable, doesn't erode by weather and very permanent. but this piece has another element... of decay, it changes over time, it's being eaten by insects and swollen by moisture. one day it will disappear all together...
