    Koulla Roussos

    Here is a fascinating scene- the c13th hero, Siegfried slaying the dragon. The dragon puppet was operated by 17 people! Note the nostrils...

    Review by Koulla Roussos

    I met Eileen Song a few weeks ago at the Roma Bar to chat about her exhibition “Cliffside” showing at Darwin Visual Arts. I wanted to make the effort to find out more about her and her practice  when I came across her work “Hit Me on the Street” in an earlier group sho...

    There is a thirst for visual representation from artists that habituate...
