Camillagate: Highway ’96 Revisited

In the 1990s I had come across Jenny Holzer and her Truisms, and they resonated with me then as they still do today. My first contact with them had been through their depiction on signs outside buildings in New York

Document your work! I'm about to start a book base Document your work! I'm about to start a book based on work I did in Venice 1992-1995, and it's great to know that a Kodachrome of the finished work that I started on the bridge is in a little yellow box ready to be scanned. (And yes, I'd forgotten that I did this and was sad to think I'd lost all those early pieces, even though at the time I was glad because a cafe bought them.) #venice #35mm #kodachrome #hp5

What’s Next for Team Dave?

2023 was mainly directed to working towards a solo show in August. This show formed part of the SALA (South Australian Living Artists) Festival and was held in Adelaide. It brought with it many wonderful things and made me very tired. I am now trying to recharge after three very challenging years. (Challenging, that is, by my standards.) I'm still working on a couple of series in 2024 though, and we'll see how that goes.

2021-22 saw the completion of a Masters Degree in Contemporary Art at UniSA. This was a return to full time study for the first time since 1984.

In 2024 I am developing idea for some new work, "The Sea Before Dawn." We'll see what happens I guess.
