Notes
Shown RCA Degree Show 1980. Shown Gallery 52, 1981. shown "OzPop", AGWA 1992 "One sold last year for $1500 at the Delaney Galleries. This was a print made to try and get away from the preciousness of printmaking - 'the one grand image'. So I carried these plates around with me in my bag over a 2 week period and made them 'on the road' as much as possible. All the plates have a little story about London and images I say like a line of poplar streets in an avenue in Liverpool called "Popular Avenue" and the print with the sewing up the top is from Bootle in Liverpool, so it's a 'Bottle-neck- Bottle-neck' a stitched up neck showing how violent Bottle was at that time"
