Distancing yourself from a bad situation

Distance.

The big orange and green pointy thing.

I created this piece in 2003 for Stella Wong's Nonennui exhibition.

The exhibition occupied the entire top floor of a repurposed Sydney Olympic Committee building in Ultimo.

For reasons unknown to us the lifts shutdown right on cue of the exhibition opening. The lift service returned within half an hour, but not before I had begun leading amused groups of visitors (one of which included Bryan Brown) up firestairs and over the building roof to get to the show.

A0 size and mounted to inch thick artmount, it lives on my bedroom wall these days.
