In July & August, 2009
an exhibition was held on
Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
*
I was one of 7 artists invited
to paint and exhibit a cardboard coffin
and other works, for the exhibition entitled:
"Tree Change Sea Change Coffins Change!"
organised by Funeral Celebrant, Chris Dunn
with an R.A.D.F. grant.
