SELF PORTRAIT: John Parkes provided this picture of himself with cow.
I AM currently artist in residence at the Holmes a Court Gallery at Vasse Felix. Yesterday I went back to my digs via Cowaramup and last night I wrote the following poem.
On a drive to Cowaramup Bay
At Cowaramup there on the way
I saw 40 moo moos
That don’t do their poo poos
Ah, fibreglass cows on display.
John Parkes
