To say the children have had an enthusiastic and captivated response to Australian artist and photographer Gerwyn Davies artwork would be an understatement. It’s no wonder, as Davie’ artwork is so colourful, so over the top, so challenging, inspiring and… so much fun!
Described as ‘the artist behind Australia’s most outlandish selfies’(Albert 2021) we can’t get enough of his art. Over the weeks we marvel at his use of performative photography, audacious costume making and ‘excessive aesthetics of camp’ and wonder…
how does he make it? Why doesn’t he show his face? (Anna. H) How can he breathe? Why so many tattoos?(Rowan) How does he take the photo?’ how does he put it on? (Sylvie)…
how do the balloons stay in place? (Miles) How does he take it off?!!!…’the same way he puts it on, but backwards (John), ‘I can see a pin!’…. ‘he jumps on his belly, I know, he floats away’(Artie).
Gerwyn Davies, we are in awe, we are inspired.
