Coogee 3/10 by Jennifer Baird

Artist Statement

Coogee was where Marcus and I shared our first home together. In a little flat in Glenwood Avenue. I had my first home studio there. It’s where I found out I was pregnant with Ben. We have a classic photo of Marcus trying a Baby Bjorn pouch before he was born. This mixed media work features the Ross Jones Memorial Pool and it’s famous blocks.
