Renée O'Connell exhibition
Little google eyed Sushi was spawned from my imagination late 2007 whilst experimenting with spay paints & stencils. He had a very small & short debut throughout the streets of Adelaide but shortly after a few gigs at the old Zhivago's & Urban cow studio his cheeky little face shied away from the public eye..
Recently I decided to challenge myself by taking on this project at the Reading room so I dusted off ye old sewing machine & transcended his tiny little being onto crafts & bags.. So come forth & see his metamorphosis as a crafty felty little guy. Hopefully he can warm the cockles of your hearts as he has mine.

'Dreamhunter' by Elizabeth Knox
"...Set in 1906, Dreamhunter describes a world very similar to ours, except for a special place, known simply as The Place, where only a select group of people can go. These people are called Dreamhunters and they harvest dreams which are then transmitted to the general public for the purposes of entertainment, therapy - or terror and political coercion..."

:: Adelaide Fringe 2012 ::
Two shows! Plus more to be announced soon!
:: Thursday 23rd February - Sun 18th March :: Hard Lines by Kat Coppock & Tiff Hampton
Exhibition opening :: Thursday 23rd Feb, 6pm - 8pm - there will be cupcakes!
Fresh off the back of exhibitions "Les Petites Morts" and "Dirty Truth" respectively, local Adelaide artists Kat Coppock and Tiff Hampton have collaborated for a special Fringe mash-up of epic proportions!
Celebrating the theme of festival excesses, Hard Lines takes the normal and turns it towards the absurd. These two artists paint, draw, and collage their interpretation of emotional, physical, and psychological indulgence resulting in the largest exhibition ever held in this space.
200 original works by these artists will be priced below the poverty line, with all proceeds going to the human condition's noble cause. Following purchase, works are immediately available to take home, commemorating your moment of decadence forever. http://www.adelaidefringe.com.
