This year TRAILS finalists included artists from across Australia. The works reflected a range of media, techniques and experience, providing viewers with a broad spectrum from which to cast their People's Choice vote.
Deb Casey
The COVID-19 pandemic smashed the world. Individual freedom was replaced with lockdowns and isolation.
NoVaxNoEntry is my exclamation mark to remind us. Three elements create the COVID-19 narrative. The mirror balls, are an iconic nostalgic disco symbol of the past, while the syringes morph the work into something more sinister, the virus. Then finally the remains of gold glitter in syringes representing the vax, suggesting hope.
