Well, while wishing everyone a Happy New Year, it has to be said that  2013 does not augur  well for the future of the Arts in NSW.

I refer everybody to Elizabeth Farrelly's excellent article in the Sydney Morning Herald

http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/the-colour-of-money-is-ruining-art-20121226-2bw9h.html

which expresses, much more elequently than I can, what 2013 holds in store for the art world after the totally draconian withdrawal of funding for the arts in TAFE, sanctioned by our new premier Barry O'farrell
 
I'll just confine myself to a quick preview of my new project, a contemporary Australian take on the UK TV satire Spitting Images, and, with our politicians, God knows they deserve it. So here is my current take on public enemy number one.

Barry is currently in unfired clay but I am hoping to cast him in some light material so that I can utilise him as part of the next TAFE protest demonstration.
