I’m so grateful to win the Eden Unearthed 2019 Art Prize this year with "The Corporate Snake" - an ephemeral art installation talking about systemic societal waste whilst providing a potentially regenerative solution for helping along community sustainability by enhancing the Corporations Act.
Here 'The Corporate Snake' is made from about 17,000 discarded (but still usable) light globes worth around $137,000 of reimagined waste.
Congratulations to @martaferracin who was highly commended for her work 'Forget Me Not' and all the other artists and prize winners for their great art.
Special thanks to Anna and Simon Ainsworth, Directors @eden_macquariepark for their particularly way to be supportive to artists but also for their genuinely caring and exemplified support to organisations such as Youth of the Streets, Edmund Rice, Cancer Council and others .... it's true, "Actions speak louder than words." Special thanks to @meredith.kirton , Curator- a particularly awesome hard worker; say no more 😀! Costa Georgiadis @costasworld for his kind words to all artists and his passion to mother earth;
Judges- Graham Forsyth Forsyth, previous Associate Dean NSW Uni; Trevor Weekes, Artist @trevor_weekes ; Rae Bolotin, Sculptor @bigciaustralia ; Allan Giddy, Sculptor.
The launch was a fantastic night with a smoking ceremony by Shannon Foster @shannon_foster444 . So thank you.
Finally, thank you to photographer and story teller Brian Rapsey @rhapsodypictures producing a great catalogue of images for the exhibition and a video story catalogue of each of the artist's work.
Congrats to all finalists in the show.
The exhibition goes for 6 months!
