A guest attending the CUPCO CULT exhibition from 2023

18th July, 2023: Lots of people came and joined the CULT OF CUPCO!! A huge selction of work including (but not limited to) over 50 new handmade dolls, avrious hand-stitched and embellished persian rugs and a whole lot of new work made from golden carpet underlay, sponges, IGA shopping bags and whatever I could get my hands on. Thanks to everyone for coming – Thanks to my loved ones – Thanks to Damien Minton for hosting!!!!

Here’s the blurb from the show:
Cupco!? is 50 and like any self-respecting artist or human has decided it’s time to start a cult!
Death Cult? Sex Cult? Who knows? This is the beginning of something big and beautiful as CUPCO!? explores what it takes to make a really great cult! You’ll see Aum Shinrikyo, the Moonies, Fundamentalist Mormons, Gumby, flower children and the most evil, despicable, incipient cult of all: THE SMURFS!!

KOALA SPONGE AUCTION

In the wake of the recent Australian Bushfires I’ve been thinking about effective ways to help out with the recovery efforts. I’ve already made a donation to aid in the human recovery at RED CROSS AUSTRALIA. I also want to help KOALAS. So many koalas have been killed, injured and displaced. I’m auctioning this Koala Sponge on my instagram feed to raise money for the care of sick and injured koalas. I will match the total raised so we can help twice as many koalas. All money raised will be donated to WIRES Australia.
