It’s a photo finish

I’m doubly delighted to announce that Pasha of the Parklands has been judged the winner of the inaugural Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize.

My heartfelt thanks to all those concerned with establishing and organising this fabulous addition to the art prize calendar – the Adelaide Park Lands Preservation Society in particular for their advocacy, Adelaide City Council, the Adelaide Festival Centre and all the other wonderful finalists. It was an honour to have my work in what has spontaneously become a major art prize in Australia but to have the work acknowledged in this way is a greater honour still. Doubly so being the first in a prize so unique and so naturally a part of the cultural life of Adelaide.

Congratulations on a wonderful survey show, champion hang and for championing the unique nature of the lands.

Denim (the horse) I’m sure would salute you all.

The show runs at Artspace at the Festival Centre until April 6.
