Bears, Boomerangs, Bathers & Booze
Mulga wood ashtrays, shell houses, souvenir spoons, tea towels or a southern cross tattoo. Basically all of us could admit to having at least one of those little fabulous, or not so fabulous, souvenirs of our travels throughout our great southern land.
Well, Lord Coconut is taking our tackiness and has decided to celebrate Australia Day in style with his own take on Kitsch Australiana. All pieces displayed within the exhibition are from local jewellers, designers and artisans who were challenged to create jewellery or a display piece which represents their own view of kitsch Australiana.
Bears, Boomerangs, Bathers & Booze will be held at Lord Coconut from Friday January 20 – Saturday February 11.
