In recent happy news, thanks to the incredible generosity of a private collector, my linocut, Lace Face, 1996, is now part of the permanent collection of QAGOMA (Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art).
A pivotal work in the Tattooed Faces and Figures series of the mid-late 1990s, Lace Face is a direct descendant of the Decorated Women, my current series of paintings.
It seems the Tattooed Faces and Figures are currently having a moment (well, anyway, two of them are). In other recent news, at the Art Gallery of Ballarat, Queer Views: New perspectives on the collection has been extended to October 4, due to popular demand. The exhibition includes my linocut, Eyes Everywhere, 1996.
