SURF WARRIORS  |  ALISON ALLCOCK  |  NSW

SURF WARRIORS | ALISON ALLCOCK | NSW

What can old surfboards tell us about this place? Once regarded as an alternative or fringe activity, these pieces stand as a salute to the pioneers of the Gold Coast’s surfing culture. They are free spirited surf ‘warriors’ who explored the coast in a quest to find and conquer the perfect wave. Alison works with materials and objects found in her neighbourhood. Her work involves transformation – in this case from surfboards to an armoury of arrows, spears and harpoons.

FABRICATED  |  KYMBERLEY MCELROY  |  QLD

FABRICATED | KYMBERLEY MCELROY | QLD

Fabricated explores both traditional and contemporary notions of leisure. Reminiscent of a childhood ‘paint-by-numbers’, Fabricated embraces the principles of plein air painting by providing a canvas with a view to capturing the elusive atmosphere of an ever-changing landscape, as a slow, methodical needlework scene. Here the public are encouraged to contribute to the social fabric.

CAPTAIN GOODVIBES THE PIG OF STEEL | JOE STARK | NSW

In the early 1970s a little known Australian artist Tony Edwards created a cartoon strip for a fledgling surfing magazine called Tracks - over the next decade Captain Goodvibes became an underground cult hero, known as the ‘pig of steel’. His exploits and lifestyle became legendary. “Come back Captain, the world needs you”.
