"There are so many worldwide issues that continue to bug me - I'm never short of ideas"
Penny Byrne's work isn't exactly the kindest of artwork, in fact the artists main aim is to shock and upset her viewers.
The scultpures are composed of objects discovered in junkshops and online antique stores.
She encourages her viewers to revisit contemporary issues using devices such as parody, irony and satire.
This freakishly controversial, intelligent and talented arist deserves credit for exploring those avenues many are afraid to acknowledge.
Penny Byrne's collection 'Commentariat' is currently exhibited at Geelong Art Gallery.
