Pepper Box

2017
Overview

Bushranger Frank Thomas never harmed anyone but many feared he was behind every bush and about to pounce.

Meeting a bushranger was a chief dread of Mrs Maude Greenwood of Manell Farm in Waddy Forest. Her defence, which she kept at the ready, was a matchbox full of pepper. To use her own words she "would be a missing quantity by the time the bushranger stopped sneezing."

This artwork is part of the '10863 Bushranger presented by Act-Belong-Commit' exhibition, which has been shown at The Bank Gallery in Carnamah, Fremantle Prison, Old Geraldton Gaol, Greenough Museum & Gardens, on the big screen in Perth's Yagan Square and online at www.frankthomas.com.au
