Cambodian link to Aussie Exhibit
Like a rolling stone, artist Stephen Eastaugh is drawn to constant travel - a state of perpetual wanderlust that crosses many borders.
Samples of his stark abstracted and iconographic images - which include reference to Cambodia - are now on show near Tan and Trev's Australian abode. Until July 16, Eastaugh's works can be seen at William Mora Galleries, Richmond.
Eastaugh says in his artist's statement for TRAVAILOGUE that the series "began in the year 2000 somewhere between Casey station in East Antarctica and Phnom Penh, Cambodia".
In TRAVAILOGUE he has returned to his earlier penchant for stitched texture.

"I like the idea of stitching a slow laborious line across the fabric to represent a complicated journey," he says. "Paul Klee stated once that drawing is taking a line for a walk. I try to take my line on a very long and tricky tour."Link

I believe that 'travailogue' showed at the Foriegn Correspondents club, Phnom Penh earlier this year.
Well spotted Jinja. The Australian-born artist did indeed have a solo exhibition last year entitled "Travailogue 5" at the Foreign Correspondents Club, Phnom Penh.
This was followed by "Travailogue 6" at the Foreign Correspondents Club, Siem Reap.
(The Melbourne show is "Travailogue 9" in his series).
