EMI Art Project

I was recently invited to take part in the EMI Art Project by EMI Music Australia. Situated at their offices in Surry Hills, Sydney, the project features in their main windows facing Flinders St and consists of rotating installations by local artists including the likes of Beastman, Esjay and Kris Moyes. I painted a mural (with some help from my handsome boyfriend who never complained despite 20hrs of slave labour) which I call Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You.

It’s a piece based on the saying ‘you hear 100 Nos for every Yes’. As a creative person, you really have to come to terms with the idea of rejection. I also like that Yes is a much more powerful word than No – a single Yes can open doors and change your life. Unless it’s to socks-with-sandals. That’s a definite no-no.

The mural is up for the next month or so, so check it out if you’re in the area!
