The way life should be, is the first significant collaboration between artists Justy Phillips and Margaret Woodward.  In its infancy, this is an ambitious, long term collaborative project, which comments on the realities and representations of contemporary Australian culture. This work explores the nature of travel, tourism, experience, truth, fiction and the depiction of Australian culture and society through collected tourist ephemera using hundreds of vintage souvenir linen tea towels collected from towns all over the country. These tea towels are being used to re-upholster everyday mid-century footstools. Little, domestic representations of place and a society in transition. via theinspirationroom.com
