HAVE YOUR SAY - Articulate, 497 Parramatta Rd, Leichhardt - 18 to 20 December, 2015

'Have Your Say' was the end of year exhibition for Articulate Project Space.  From the Articulate website - "Have Your Say is our 2015 end-of-year exhibition of spatial and experimental artwork by artists who have previously shown at Articulate. This year Articulate was prompted by the social and political crises facing the world to invite artists to have their say—about climate change, war, refugees, extinctions, the environment, the TPP or other concerns artists have".

My contribution was 4 gouaches from my "Nothing To Say Here" series in which arrangements of circles and squares are determined by random artists' quotes.  The 4 works shown were - 'An Empty Canvas is Full', 'A Line is a Dot That Went For a Walk', 'The Task of Art is to Bring Chaos Into Order' and 'The Job of the Artist is to Deepen the Mystery'.
