​Portrait of Cash Cow on Couch 
oil and enamel on canvas, 84 x 68cm

Portrait of Cash Cow on Couch explores themes surrounding Australian current-affairs television programs, including censorship, freedom of information, cash for comment and the blurring of news, opinion and entertainment.
The image of Cash Cow was sourced online, printed on paper and transferred to canvas with paint.  The transition from original to painting parallels journalistic development from source to presentation.   The original is made publicly available- reliant on diligent and responsible presentation by TV personalities.  
 
The work was made out of concern for the current state of the media landscape and the platform given to uninformed opinion dressed up as news.
