Old New World

I was invited late last year to create the poster and other visual materials for Children’s Book Week 2021, on the theme ‘Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds�. The resulting oil painting references The Arrival, my own experiences of fatherhood and also to some extent the feeling of coming out of a tough lockdown in 2020 Melbourne. I wanted to somehow collapse ideas of the past, present and future into a single image that also suggests alternate history.

Painting for this year’s Book Week, August 21-27, on the theme ‘Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds’. For more info, visit www.cbca.org.au
