This is a special book – a wonderful collaboration. There is a beautiful, moving and important back story to this picture book. Ned Sevil died from cancer in 2010 aged 30. All the artworks in the book were made between 2000 and 2010 and have been collaboratively put together by Ned’s brother Tom Sevil (aka Civil), his mother Chris Mason and his sister-in-law Lou Smith. Who collectively make up the ‘Tent Pegs’. It has been made with love to celebrate the beautiful, playful spirit that was Ned, and to share the incredible collection of artworks he has left behind. Ned was an artist who completed honours at Sydney College of the Arts. He exhibited as part of the Makeshift Collective at ACCA and Mori Gallery and as Evil brothers with his brother Tom in Melbourne, Sydney, and Alice Springs and with his dad as Sevil and Sons at New England Regional Gallery in Armidale NSW. Ned’s drawings, whether in his sketchbooks or for exhibition, were intimately connected with his street art and graffiti work. Ned painted and drew around Australia on street corners, shed doors, abandoned houses, train lines, lonely highways and more.
We really hope this book finds a special place in your lives!
