The piece titled Censored is a 150mm cube made from recycled timber, stamped and rusted steel bands and paper. The words stamped and rusted on the bands include: suppressed, stifled, shut down, sacrificed. The piece is intended to make a statement about the lack of free speech that is demonstrated in the news on a daily basis.
The 10 selected pieces can be seen on the SCU site.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Baz - this really is well earned recognition. I like the piece enormously, and can connect with Tara O'Brien's rationale for selecting it. As with many of your pieces, the confluence of diverse influences is evident - time spent in central Oz, the austerity of the bush, Leunig, Gascoigne, Scandanavian design, and the sheer pleasure of getting your hands dirty from a bit of mucking around with stuff that has 'hidden form'. Plus, and most importantly, passion and a social conscience. Keep up the good work! Jeff
