The Neds
Sydney Nolan’s Ned Kelly, with the battered armour and see through visor, is an Australian Icon that mirrors our vulnerability within the environment.
‘The Australian Dream’ - that is the quarter-acre block, drinking culture, chook on Sundays, football, the beach, surfing etc, is a way of living to celebrate, along with the sense of community and positive national identity that it promotes.
This series, which places the iconic armour of Ned into these simultaneously everyday yet ideal situations, is just that kind of celebration.
