They are; 'The Red Room' , a canvas 75cm across by 100cm tall previously exhibited at the Tin Cat Cafe; 'Adelaide Skyline', an A4 print on glossy paper; and 'Adelaide Townhouse', an A4 print on glossy paper.
Shall we listen in as they recount the day just past? Yes, let's.
The Red Room "Skyline, Townhouse! Listen to me, listen to me. Did you see how that couple looked at me today? I don't mind being admired but this couple scrutinised me from every angle. Their gaze was so intense I felt my picture squirm. Couldn't help it, I think it moved.
Skyline: "I know what you mean The Red Room. You get some creepy inspections in galleries - makes your stomach churn sometimes. Oi Townhouse, did you see The Red Room's creepy couple?"
Townhouse: "Yes, I saw them giving you the once over Red Room and then a bit. It may not be as it seems, you know, they may want to adopt you and put you on their own wall. Eventually it's either new homes or it's off to storage . . . or worse . . . you know."
The Red Room: "What are you saying? New home! My creator wouldn't do that."
Skyline: "Oooo! Canvas doesn't know the facts of life. Thinks he's all special. What airs."
Townhouse: "Be nice Skyline. Break it to him gently."
A muffled scream is heard followed by a loud tuneless 'thwack'.
Skyline: "He's fallen off the wall. Poor sot couldn't take the truth."
Townhouse: " Yes. All that rubbish about the creator taking care of him. Just not going to happen, is it?"
Skyline: "I hope he didn't hurt himself."
Townhouse: "No use worrying now. What can we do?"
Skyline: "Just hang about I suppose."
Townhouse: " They'll pick him up, dust him off and he'll be as good as new."
Skyline: "Do you think he was knocked out."
Townhouse: "I expect so. He fell from quite a height but he's made of strong stuff."
Skyline: "So what are your plans for tomorrow? Just hang about I suppose."
Townhouse: "Yep. Smell the air. Watch the diurnal play of light on the walls. Day Dream. You know. Just hang."
Shyline: "Yep, Just hang."
