If you missed the opening of the Poimena Art Award 2009 for mixed media works last week then you’ve got about a month to cruise through and check out the artwork at Poimena Gallery, Launceston. This year the $7000 biannual award was nabbed by Hobart artist Cath Robinson for her necklace crafted from punctuation marks. Congratulations Cath, awesome.
My name is Steven Clark and my passions are business, web development, photography and writing. My current CV [PDF 775KB] discusses relevant work history and interests. Currently I'm in the second half of a post-graduate university degree of MBA (Journalism and Media Studies) at the University of Tasmania.
Lo and behold I now happen to inhabit the realms of Facebook and Twitter so see you over there.
My fine art photography is available online at Steven Clark Studio. You may also enjoy my photo blog Walk a Mile in my Shoes.

Late last year I watched an address to the Australian National Press Club from counter-terrorism expert and author of The Accidental Guerrilla: Fighting Small Wars in the Midst of a Big One , David Kilcullen. In that address he mentioned the period after World War 2 when, in retrospect, we had wars against colonialisation as countries pushed back against dominating forces. Similarly, when we look back at the current wars we’ll see them as wars against globalisation – people pushing back against the tide of world wide Americanisation and globalised culture. David Kilcullen is there to inform us that what the American government are group-labeling global terrorists are more often than not local insurgents with local concerns. Understanding this crucial point and unraveling the complexity of the enemy is crucial to America's success in the field.
