Lester Prize Finalist

Very happy that my painting Anita is a finalist for one of Australia's most prestigious art awards, the Lester Prize.  I will be flying off to Perth for the awards night on 8 November, so may see a few of you there!

It’s been a long while since I’ve written anything even remotely academic, but here it is: My first refereed article in an arts journal: ‘Instances of Anomaly,’ In ‘Double Dialogues’ no less!

My Painting ‘Techtonica’ even made the cover.

My thanks to Professor Ann McCulloch, Dr Kathryn Keeble and everyone else involved!
