new work for Bassendean Art Award

well I'm busy finishing works for my exhibition 'Surfacing' with Ben Mitchell at Midland Junction Arts Centre in October, but I thought I'd take a bit of a break and make a completely colourful fun work, to enter into the Bassendean Art Award, hopefully it'll be on show there 26th September!
