exhibition, Memories Are Made of This, is a collection
of 40 “wall and floor pieces” – oil paintings, limited edition prints of his
original work and mixed media sculpture – about his experiences in life: “where
I’ve been and what I’ve done”. Thoughtfully presented as an installation, these
new works are the culmination of 30 years of artistic endeavour. Palmer’s oils
are narrative, tongue-in-check portrayals of relationships and the game of life,
as observed by the artist, and they are rich in symbolism. At Graydon Gallery
(New Farm) from 2 – 13 September 2009. Read more… The Australian Open Polo Championships

several years. The focus of her attention is King Island - a tiny island off
