Taking another look at forgotten artworks
IMG_4998 IMG_5045
Sometimes I create an artwork that's a little unloved. It gets turned around to face the studio wall and is kind of forgotten about. I recently came across this work 'Who pushed Annette?'.
When I was about 8 years old, my cousins visited our house from Sydney. My mum and dad were renovating our house.
Six cousins were standing in the doorway looking into this chasm where the floor used to be. I nudged my cousin to see what would happen and she fell into the pit and impaled her head on a rusty nail.
She didn't know who pushed her; I didn't tell her. This piece is a visual confession. Sorry Annette!
I wasn't happy with the vibrant orange background, it dominated the work and made the piece overwhelming.
I repainted the background to reflect the hot dry summer grass and filled the sky with the dazzling blue of an Australian summer. The goat adds perspective and in a way reflects my guilty conscience that I carried around for 35 years.

I believe privacy warrants serious consideration before someone opens an online casino account. iLucki is a name that makes the issue particularly easy to think about, but branding alone says nothing about a website's real privacy protections. I would want to establish what information is collected, what happens to verification documents during processing and whether data may be shared with third-party service providers before supplying details. The policies published at ilucki-casino-australia.com would need review alongside relevant regulatory obligations. Anonymity and privacy are not interchangeable, especially in connection with identity checks and financial transactions. I prefer clear statements of data practices to vague security claims. Understanding possible uses of personal information is a reasonable expectation before creating any financial account.
