South Australians are often surprised to discover the range of local people who have contributed to many areas of society at a local, national and international level. These images are from an exhibition of hand coloured lino prints containing a personal and idiosyncratic selection of some of these people.
Paul
Could he be Australia’s Poet Laureate? Paul has provided the soundtrack to much of my life. I’ve seen him play more times than I can count. One night that stands out was at the Tivoli in the mid-80s (well, where did you go on a Saturday night?), enveloped in cigarette smoke, feet sticking to the carpet (probably in my back stiletto boots …) crushed shoulder to shoulder, ears ringing as the home-town crowd roared their approval of Adelaide sharing, or possibly totally missing, the irony.
The song titles in the print were chosen by asking friends their fave PK songs. There was a lot of common ground but a few outliers. Overall winner? Tough call … Gravy perhaps (though it’s not in my personal top ten), possibly Dumb Things by a whisker.
