I have started entering some of the major art prizes and this was my entry for the Archibald Prize at the NSW Art gallery. It is a self portrait based on the Archibald fountain in Hyde Park and I have replaced Apollo at the top of the fountain but instead of holding a Lyre like Apollo I am holding an IPad and have sunglasses on. Both symbolic of this current age. The fountain water has become abstracted into a series of shapes and imagery from pegasus to warriors to nude women.
