Boots of Spanish Leather. Oil on board, 45x60cm
This picture has been selected as finalist for the Clifton Art Prize, Sydney. One of 10 finalists. Opening Nov 18th in Sydney. I am so happy that they are getting some wall time, This painting is a dedication to hard work and loving things for their imperfections, as this is what makes them unique. These boots were my house mates, a freelance curator in Sydney. She wore them everyday, mending their broken soles with tape, until they couldnt walk any further. These boots with their broken tape, scuffed leather and paint stains were a still life waiting to happen. I like to thing of the painting as a contemporary momento mori
