CAPO Craft ACT <strong>Emerging</strong> Artist award<br />
Artist Statement<br />
At 16 years old, 11 years ago, I bought<br />
a teeshirt from a local Canberra based<br />
artist Luke Chiswell from which this<br />
sculpture is inspired from. Luke has been<br />
a massive inspiration for myself, not<br />
just aesthetically but also practice and<br />
career wise. The sculpture came about<br />
as a means to display the original teeshirt<br />
whilst mirroring and playing with the logo.<br />
Scale plays an important role in this piece<br />
giving it presence as we might another<br />
human. I find it fun to imagine such a<br />
creature walking around. The message<br />
is simple and deserves to be set in stone<br />
(rather stoneware). Keep your head up.<br />
