All artists are people of growth. It's like food, you take the good and leave the rest. |
I went to Bali for two months and met my wife, and that's how the story started... We had a very simple beginning, selling art on the street. |
I've done my time in being broke in Indonesia. Eating Goat soup. Australia's a developed country, you've got a lot of taxes, rents are high and its quite difficult to survive as an artist especially when you are just coming up. |
It was a good process, though the demographics seemed a little skewed. |
It's hard no matter where you are in the world, it's always a bit of a battle, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. |
Whereas there's a wealth of galleries in Australia, everyone's got a gallery in Australia or wants your work. Because the art scene is smaller in Indonesia, there's not so much competition. |
