Mai Long (a friend of mine) entered the Wynne Prize (which is part of the Archibald prize) for best landscape painting of Australian scenery, or figure sculpture this year. Although Mai didn’t get into the main exhibition she was invited into the “Salon des Refuses” for the work below.

 Here’s Mai’s artist statement that goes with the work:

Pondering the discovery of a baby in a box outside the local supermarket, Aqua Mutt is beginning to doubt Dag Girl’s robotic rhetoric about immaculate conception.

How much is really known about this baby in the box? And who the bloody hell is Pho dog?
