Cassowary No. 7

Peter Cooley (NSW)

Artist Statement

This work is a play on the fine line between kitch, folk and an accepted idiom. The sense of space and time is an important result with a heavy emphasis on the homemade. The use of clay has a directness with the hand resulting in a very tangible product.
