This is one of two images that were created for an exhibition titled Urban Reality which toured around Australia for two years.
The initial idea came to me after my grandmother was mugged at the age of 91 and I was very upset by this event, as the perpetrator was never caught.
So, the other image was about this event and this one was about prostitution. A friend of mine had recently gone into the game and I wanted to address this situation.
The graffiti in the image reads:
I lost me virginity.
Never mind.
Long as you still have the box it came in.
The excerpt is torn from a newspaper and details some of the items in the Personal Columns.
