In a fascinating artist interview for Sculpture by the Sea, Jimmy Rix shares insights into the themes which inspired his work A Bridge Too Far, recently exhibited at SxS Cottlesoe, 2024.
Rix sheds light on the challenges surrounding home ownership, describing it as a bridge too far for many Australians due to factors like interest rate hikes and the rising cost of living.
He reflects on how the Great Australian Dream may be fading away, becoming nothing more than a distant aspiration evaporating into the clouds.
