As I've said, I like art to do something for my eye and heart, so I don't enjoy these works which, to me, are primarily thought exercises. But at least these thought exercises required some skill/craftsmanship to create and weren't just a "new" idea :-) Haha, I’ll see myself referenced as “artistic dinosaur/philistine”?

I’d certainly like to know what contemporary NZ artists you do like though….

But our discussion the other week did help. I'm actually in the middle of writing a review of Gina Matchitt's work for my ARTH311 paper...that’s where half the inspiration came from.

So regardless of whether they are my "thing" they seem authentic enough to me (i.e. I don't think it's a big LOB!) I still refuse to give shitting on a matress the time of day, or any respect, but certainly we have some common ground here. Now I know who inspired THIS post! :-D
