Artist Statement

‘Ken Done it! #6’ comments on the history of Australian landscape. The work is part of the ‘ The Wonderful Land of Oz’ series, which articulates a critical reading of the Australian landscape as it is presented in tourism destination shots. Employing scenic painting techniques the life-size set is occupied by real performer acting out contemporary and colonial narratives. With a storybook aesthetic, this photograph a present pristine vista, re-imagined with reference to personal, political and historical issues. The works play with reality and illusion in a way that hints at a level of contrivance and obfuscation.

Sunshine Coast Council acknowledges the Sunshine Coast Country, home of the Kabi Kabi peoples and the Jinibara peoples, the Traditional Custodians, whose lands and waters we all now share.
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.
