Pertinent use of University of Melbourne's museum collections to add snap and sparkle to Ramesh's magpie-like assemblage of stuff.
A panopoly of materials and joyfully self referential and neo-expressionist outpouring across all surface.
Hyper-fun, combined with layers of cultural and history of art references hidden amidst the jetsom.
