The trophies for 2007 have been created by Mark Wotherspoon, recent graduate of Sydney College of the Arts with a major in glass. Since completing university he has set up an artist run studio in St Peters where he works. The themes of life, existence and death are central to Mark’s work.

These trophies, along with other works, have been cast from recycled television screens sourced from discarded TV’s on the side of the road.
