The power of suggestion..



On a rainy day visit to the recently re-opened Art Gallery WA last week I was looking forward to seeing the work of Year 12 students from schools across WA. This year's Pulse Perspectives 2019 exhibition was as creative and diverse as always. The above work by Charlotte Olsen 'see with your hands and feel with your eyes' had me wanting to reach out and touch.. I resisted :) All of the art by these talented young visual art graduates was amazing and absolutely relevant to the time we are presently living. I feel the work below could be relating to the world's existence depending on us working together as a whole and the next work how this may not be possible as 'more young people disconnect as a result of digital toxicity'. I am ever fascinated to know how young people see their future in this uncertain world.. Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. I would love it if you would read the artists words 💙

  8. Ms Nguyen rather got stuck into her brother. Perhaps if he is as his sister describes, he will never bother looking at her art.

  11. Hmmm, Grace, one does want to lick! ;-)
    It´s good to see there are still young people who go for good ole values and also see the wrongness of being glued to all the devices non-stop. Sadly the minority...

  15. Remember The Good Old Days When Art Work Was Based On Scratch And Sniff And Lickable Wallpaper Was Everywhere - Long Live Willy Wonka

  20. I saw an article today about art restorers using saliva to clean the artworks .... so I guess a lot of famous paintings could have been "licked" over the years.
