ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This is part of the Deaf culture works, and tells the story of Growing Up Deaf. This one was the child, Chelle (myself), was riding on a double decker bus in Melbourne with other kindergarten friends. This was in 1982 when I was 3. Mum was trying to get me onto the bus safely. I was holding my pink teddy bear. The painting on the wood is a metaphor for the underlying solid and immutable fact of my deafness, over which I paint a happy and normal childhood.
