Artist Statement

This is a portrait of Brisbane writer/director Stephen Kanaris and his son. Born to an English mother and a Greek father in the 1970’s, he is one of eight children. A child at heart, he struggles with the push and pull between leading a creative life, getting older and the doldrums of day-to-day routines. For myself, this image represents on a wider level, one’s own battle with growing up, getting older, becoming burdened with responsibility and the constant, ongoing yearning to replay aspects of our youth.

We commit to working in partnership with the Traditional Custodians and the broader First Nations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) community to support self-determination through economic and community development.
