Dreaming of Freedom

2017
Overview

Di Taylor created this artwork in response to a story on bushranger Frank Thomas written by emerging writer Lauren Selfe. It shows an imprisoned Frank imagining his former life, which is depicted through the window. Di painted the artwork live over two days at the 2017 Mid West Expo in Mingenew.

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
