The annual Trunk Art Wrap Festival invites people to make and display artworks, made entirely of recycled industrial or domestic waste materials, by attaching them to the trunks of selected trees in the town of Bassendean. The artworks remain on public display for the whole of the week long Festival. This year's Festival has seen individual artists, family groups, local school classes and even a pre-school playgroup present a wide variety of artworks. Nestled by the banks of the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia, the town of Bassendean has a strong tradition of displaying public art: the famous artist and international entertainer Rolf Harris was born and grew up in Bassendean. During his early years as an artist, many of Rolf's works were publicly displayed in Bassendean's businesses and public buildings.

Opening of the 2012 Artists By The River exhibition. The Artists by the River project involves 22 artists with disability who created their artwork alongside and under the tutelage of teaching artists and visiting guest artists at the gallery. "The exhibition continues to attract interest from the local community every year", Commission Accommodation Services Executive Director Wendy Cox said. "The project had been warmly embraced by all who took part, including the artists, their support workers, friends and family, the tutor and the local community", added Bevan Dellar, Chair of the Fairholme Disability Support Group, which helps facilitate the project. "What's beautiful about the environment is that everyone's an artist. It doesn't matter if you have a disability or not, it's about an inclusive community and that's what we're creating here," Mr Dellar said. The Artists by the River project is a partnership between the Disability Services Commission, the Melville Community Arts Association, Fairholme Disability Support Group and four Rotary clubs

Place des Anges, Perth, Western Australia. February 11, 2012. Bloody amazing!!!

I grew up in Kalgoorlie. My Grandfather had an Austin A40. I remember to this day what that car smelled like, what the steering wheel looked like, the door handles and the seats and the window-winders--all the important bits. But I can't for the life of me remember the car's colour. We at various times had a Holden FJ, Ford Anglia, and a Morris 1000, and someone closely related, I think, had a huge Pontiac of some vintage. I remember bits of all of them, but not the whole package of any of them. I remember what they looked like from a child's height, what interesting little bits of them felt like, what they looked like if you squinted and tilted your head. And that's how I best see cars through my camera. I am readily and happily distracted by the little bits everyone bypasses as they inspect the engine, marvel at the wheelbase, shake their heads at the horsepower. Unfortunately, but understandably, it's hard getting close and intimate with cars at a static car show, where the owners have to guard against careless bumps and scrapes and fiddles. But I still try . . . what you occasionally see here are some echoes of a child from long ago telling this boring old adult, hey, come away from the flash duco, look at this detail, and this, and this. Not a lot of flash "portraits" of cars here I'm afraid, but lots of my eye-squinted, head-tilted distractions. I hope some of you understand. And I hope all of you find something to enjoy. All these photos were taken at the 2011 Classic Car Show at Whiteman Park, Caversham, Western Australia.
