1970’s

'Perhaps there's some trash here. But the diamonds shine too brightly' 

John Williams the 'Australian 1975


'My friendship and collaboration with Warren Breninger began in 1968 and in the decade of the seventies this generated for me perhaps the most intensely fruitful period of my artistic life. Drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and poetic text combined into hybrid forms that were unique then and even now and provided for me a basis in aesthetic form and thought that has sustained my life in art. In that decade Warren and I had seven major exhibitions all of which presented a poignant figuration outside of the popular idiomatic modes of the era.'
