The Certificate of Registration
Poppy's Certificate. 2008. Mixed Media on Canvas. 450mm x 450mm.
My friend and fellow artist Chrys very kindly lent me her Mother's Certificate of Registration. the document was issued to migrants who came to Australia in the 1950s. It is a particularly viscious bureaucratic creation filled with threats and warnings. I immediately copied and shredded it and stamped over it. See the detail above.
