Goals, Georgia Lucy, video documentation of a durational performance, Hobart Art School, 2014

Goals is a video of me trying to penetrate the front facade of an institution with a football. Battling the University of Tasmania building is a play on my attempt at achieving the goal of graduation. It is shown as a blatant relation to the task of goal kicking in the sport of Aussie Rules. In this game it is only a goal once the ball crosses the line. I visually represent the real frustrations and near impossibilities experienced as a student up against budget cuts and closed studios. Here associations are made between the appearance of the art school architecture and four goal posts. I am on the attack. This Video won me the Contemporary Art Tasmania award in 2014. The video features my mum and my family pet rooting on my efforts from interstate.
