The Outsiders Gallery/ Ninebob’s EASTER BONNET BALL
Everything is made from the lost and found, hand-me- downs, dregs of drag, precisely confused and infused with DIY tricks and a glue gun.
The work is an outlet. It is Art Therapy for Ninebob, it is a mental health necessity and a need for constant play and role play.
The process is where the ball starts and flows and finishes when mumma's bell rings for attention !!
