00:00:00.942 --> 00:00:04.650
<v ->It came at a time when, you know,</v>

2
00:00:04.650 --> 00:00:06.750
we're all questioning our mortality,

3
00:00:06.750 --> 00:00:08.760
things are happening in the world.

4
00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:11.020
And I was really just, you know, wondering

5
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.060
what sort of world we're leaving to our kids.

6
00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:18.900
And yeah, look, I posed her in our hallway,

7
00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:20.705
in her pyjamas, you know?

8
00:00:20.705 --> 00:00:24.106
I wanted to get that dream state

9
00:00:24.106 --> 00:00:26.553
in between sleep and awake.

10
00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:29.760
I was quite surprised at how it came out, you know?

11
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:31.593
It fell into place really well.

12
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.610
Yeah, look, I was shocked and amazed

13
00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:37.950
that I got into the competition

14
00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:39.300
in the first place,

15
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:43.053
And yeah, look, mind's absolutely blown to be here tonight.

16
00:00:44.444 --> 00:00:45.600
So yeah.

17
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:46.980
(crowd chatters)

18
00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:48.180
Yeah, look, this is her bun.

19
00:00:48.180 --> 00:00:50.430
She would sleep with that every night, you know?

20
00:00:50.430 --> 00:00:53.253
She's had it since day one,

21
00:00:54.352 --> 00:00:56.610
and, yeah, she goes everywhere with it.

22
00:00:56.610 --> 00:00:59.360
We've brought it up here to Canberra with us, you know?

23
00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:02.730
Bunny goes everywhere.

24
00:01:02.730 --> 00:01:05.500
Yeah, look, in Tasmania

25
00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:08.940
we had a short period of hard lockdown,

26
00:01:08.940 --> 00:01:10.810
but it was painted at a time

27
00:01:12.445 --> 00:01:15.840
when I'd finally decided to get serious about painting.

28
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.670
Given up my day job.

29
00:01:17.670 --> 00:01:20.250
So, I worked for many years as a mechanic

30
00:01:20.250 --> 00:01:22.440
and just noodled with painting.

31
00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:24.590
And then, yeah, these last couple of years,

32
00:01:25.784 --> 00:01:27.780
I've been serious about it

33
00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:29.313
and taught myself some skills.

34
00:01:31.317 --> 00:01:34.484
(light-hearted music)
