It was a busy year for the Carriers Project with a national Australian tour (thru kultour). Places I carried paintings at were: Brisbane, Sydney, Byron Bay, Perth, Fremantle, Mt Macedon (VIC), Canberra. Every place had problems with either security, transport security and police, except for Mt Macedon. I also took a painting into Art Melbourne 07!! Below are some image highlights:
