PURE ESCAPISM

2008, Oil on Linen, 100 x 100cm

Winner, 2008 Townsville Open Art Award
In the permanent collection of the Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, Townsville. 

Pure Escapism plays with the ideals of the great Australian family holiday and the current trend of Baby Boomer Grey Nomads and evolves it into a 'playful nightmare.' That the 'escapees' are still tethered is deliberately poignant.
