For biographical and background information see Acc. no. 1999.152.001a-d 'Additional information'. This set of 'Very very sweet medina' was made especially for the children's APT with an interactive component that involves children responding with their ideas of what constitutes a 'dream' home. The painting shows a Pakistani rendition of what a 'typical' Australian child may look like in his garden, a garden that displays curious parallels to the formal Moghul gardens of Pakistan. Suhanya Raffel, Assistant Curator, Contemporary Asian Art, Sept. 2000.
