Zipper plate
This zipper plate was made by making a mould with a zipper pressed into it. The name on the zipper, Luigi, is intelligible through the glaze.

Art and Music
This is a painting by Rupprecht Geiger called 402/64. Geiger was one of Germany's foremost abstract artists and painted mainly in red. (His obituary in 1996 was titled 'A life for the colour red.')
I am writing an essay about 'meaningful and compelling' relationships between art and music. The painting I have chosen is 402/64. The music is Wagner's Tristan und Isolde and my essay is turning out to be much more interesting than expected .... as essays should be of course.

What's allowed and what's not
Graphite sketch on A1 paper, transposed from the sketch done at the AGNSW ... with added bronze figure. It relates to an essay I am writing comparing the fuss caused by a French painting in 1850 with that caused by an Oz photo in 2008. One fuss was about politics and the other about nudity ... which says something about France and Oz respectively I suppose.
