Destiny Deacon: 'NOT ANOTHER T-SHIRT'

The multi-faceted practice of Destiny Deacon explores positionings and representations within contemporary Australia from a Koori perspective.

The use of T-Shirts in "Not Another T-Shirt" implies the positioning of the wearer (and they are all from the artist's collection) as a point which the vectors of these concerns and agendas have at one time or another affected (vectors upon which, in turn, the individual has hoped to have effect).
