Dirty Water
Deon: Glen Innes C.C.
Mixed media.
This drawing was created when I first came into gaol and a maximum security gaol when it was hard to get any art supplies. So skin tones were tea and coffee. A few colour pencils were obtained and used. The girl's hair is coloured with squeezed tomato (the pips are still there). Boy's hair is created with bristles from a broom. This style of art is a drawing coloured with whatever I could get my hands on in "MAXO" gaol in Grafton and Cessnock. It is a drawing of myself and my wife. The drawing and poem create feelings of love, hopelessness, hope, forgiveness as we were both trying to make a change for the better when I was arrested and gaoled. We were both trying to make a new start and not drinking dirty water. My vision upon my release is to remain a contributing part of society and stay gaol free. I ask my partner for forgiveness and I want to be forgiven by society and turn over a new leaf. I am determined to make art and poetry a focus in my life. Maybe even starting to sell my paintings so I don't commit any further crimes. And stop stealing mountain bikes.

As a child I would sleep in a swag and watch the stars. When I get anxious I like to be in the water. The most peaceful place to be is under the stars, in the water.
