I finished my latest art installation. I partially recycled my ‘used installation’ ALL FIRED UP’ as the base and worked a new level of interest and meaning. This piece prompting many levels of interpretation, was mostly inspired by the story told by one of my friends about how her father miraculously survived last year’s Victorian bushfires – loosing everything but his life and grateful for even that – then, returning to where his home had stood retrieved the buried ashes of his long ago deceased wife. It’s a story containing irony, pathos his special humor. Look at the images. I documented the package ready to travel the AGNSW. Surprisingly, it looks to me like a body bag itself! Perhaps it has more chance of being exhibited at the AGNSW – left wrapped! It would befit my current artistic sentiment, too.
I remember the ‘all fired up’ on Williamstown beach. Still have the pix I took. Yeah, what comes immediatedly to my mind seeing the new level which the ‘slogan’ is hoisted to is: “All fired up and going green.”
