2017 – Bondi Bellas

The shorter, longer panels in the wall are often ignored by artists in favour of the taller panels (maybe because they are more difficult to paint) – but in late January 2017, Sophi Odling spent ten days seated – creating this great piece.

Sophi says:

The Bondi Bellas are open to interpretation. A glamour puss in Monaco, to an Erykah Badu look a like, to simply a beach lady.

It could be pure beach fun, or an intricate statement about how our attire is judged and perceived. A headdress in this case can be misread on so many levels and is a challenge to reflect on our current global issues.
