Hommage to Tom Samek Pt. I

20 X 24 inch silver gelatin print.

Crabtree, January 1994.

Model: Kura Hay.

Tom Samek, a painter, is the most underrated artist in Tasmania. His work is full of wit and irony. It is often very sexy and frequently plays with the concept of the frame by the image either extending beyond it or elements of the frame intruding into the image.

The model, Kura Hay, is a dancer and very fit. She also has a cheeky sense of humour (sorry, no pun intended) and thought the frame was a great idea.

At their first showing I mounted parts one and two in the same frame - and sold out a complete edition. Thank you Tom. Thank you Kura.
