Farmer Joe by P James Bryans

14 July – 31 July 2010

Do you remember your childhood?

Do you remember what you saw?

Do you remember the feeling? The wonder, the innocence?

Do you remember everything or just the important bits?

For P. James Bryans it was a childhood full of daydreams, farm life and wonder of the bushland down the back block, the thousands of colours in a single blade of grass… the universe.

Growing up on an idyllic farmlet he spent his days (after the animals had been fed) wandering through the bush and giving his imagination free reign.

Now, as an adult, he aims to capture the fleeting moments that we treasure, imperfect and incomplete, but which we hold precious and which make us who we are.
