Space Invaders Exhibition

I found this on the National Gallery of Australia's website.

It's from an exhibition called Space Invaders which is currently touring around Australia.

The exhibition recently finished up at the University of Queensland and is now bound for the RMIT Gallery in Melbourne from 1st September to 5 November 2011 - Good news for me, as I will be in town in October.

I love the simplicity of this particular design, coupled with the powerful message.

Recycled Cutlery for the Garden

How's this for a funky way to recycle your odd bits of cutlery?  

I found these fabulous teaspoons for the herb garden on the Permaculture Ideas website.

I'm all of a sudden excited about hitting up the local op-shops again in the hope of finding some old silver cutlery, to plant next to my kale and chocolate mint!  

All I need now is a mallet, an engraver and a steady hand. 

Three Cows, 2003

This oil on canvas is by Indian artist, Subodh Gupta (Born 1964).  It's called 'Three Cows' and I fell in love with it when I was India last year. Unfortunately I didn't see the original, but I did see a print in the National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai.  He takes everyday items, and gives them new life. By exploiting the cliches of India, he transforms them into curious works of art.  Three Cows depicts three bicycles, loaded up with milk cans - a common site in urban areas, where milk is brought in from rural areas, by bicycle.
