_______________________________________

In the final Honours year of study at the Australian National University, I wrote about art as the product of a collective social dynamic.

I would like to acknowledge, some 10 years later, the indispensable social and financial role of so many individuals and organizations in the realization of the essentially non-commercial pursuits of my art practice.
