2017 Basil Sellers young writers art  -
titled
'Young Writers Slicing Thru'

A few weeks ago I showed this photograph to some teenagers in Kingscliff at a friend's 70th birthday.  They were aware of the young writer ministry. Upon viewing it, immediately they recognised it had nothing to do with the images on the canvas - a knife cutting a quaver, a cumcumber or a butter knife.

This is Mark's article on Mon 18 Dec on this annual young writer art work
