And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go – Beatles
With the quality of worsts coming in at the moment, I could easily hang up my camera for a couple of weeks, but before I add any more submissions, I thought I’d better keep my hand in. This is from The YMCA in East Perth. I don’t want to have to ask this question, but shouldn’t the lower hole on the kangaroo be a lot smaller? I mean, I’m not a small man, but even on a warm day, I’d be struggling to do justice to that opening. Makes your eyes water just thinking about it.
YMCA Goderich Street East Perth
The Worst of Perth 
No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the YMCA.
I’m sure they can help you today.

Watch out for that hungry kookaburra – he’s after another tasty grub. Those frilled neck lizards have got a nasty bite on them as well.

I think the photo is really clever….I actually did not know the mother kangaroo’s face in missing because the shading of the background (through the hole) looks like eyes and nose. This is trick photography at its best. At least you know the joey’s been culled by the gaping shotgun hole in its head.

The black cockatoo would be a suitable replacement for the kooka ( excellent animal tho they are).

The picture in question (or is it?) is actually a failed Mandorla Prize entry that is being resubmitted for this year’s Blake Prize for Religious Art. Last year the Blake Prize was awarded to an Indigenous artist Shirley Purdie and if Shirley can do it Surely another member of the Indigenous Non Dot Drawers Artist Association could do the same…plus the artist watched Four Corners “Art for Art’s Sake” on Monday and figured it out.
This piece represents the second coming of the Holiest of Holiest Kangaroos which descended in to the garden of Eden Hill, or thereabouts, accompanied by his mates, the Holy Trinity. The Son is portrayed by the Emu and the Holy Ghost (HG), a West Australian wombat disguised as a Koala sitting in the Ghost Gum (clever hey?). In the tree with HG is Adam represented as a Kookaburra who is still struggling with his addiction for snakes and other wiggly things and below is Eve as the shameless Frill Neck who is still eager to show off her assets.
The piece is called “Return to Eden Hill”
The next time you will see this piece of art will be in Rod Menzies auction house.
