Bright Palette

Neil Evans (NSW)

Artist Statement

My wacky sculpture is aimed at suggesting something optimistic for future attempts at public housing that in some small measure may make living in reduced circumstances a little more vibrate and a lot less soul-destroying. My modest little silly sculpture built from found objects is about hinting at a hope for better and brighter future for the lonely, the elderly and those people just doing it hard.
