Brickworks
Background
My maternal Grandfather's radio ham call nickname was "Brick" (he also came from a family of bricklayers).
In my mid 20's I took a bricklaying course.
Years of amateur bricklaying, making barbecues, and just prior to renovating our home I created this series.
These works was made while I was a mature age arts student at university, while simultaneously serving on senior art organisation committees.
The work provided critically comment on a number of art education and art organisations.
The work was influenced by theories of power, elites, politics, plus reflection on three and a half years as an economist working for a lobby group.
