Dip, dip, dip;
There’s a party on the hill, will you come?
With your own paint brush and your own cream bun?
Who is your very best chum?
Dip, dip, dip;
Can we get this canvas in my car?
That looks like that place we went the last day, doesn’t it?
Maybe she just really likes yellow?
Dip, dip, dip;
A selection process used to determine who is ‘on’ in the game of painting,
To plunge into/immerse, partially or momentarily.
A delicious addition to what is already there.
Dip, dip, dip.
How do we celebrate a sense of play?
Can you pose questions by dipping a brush into paint?
Will I make this wibbly shape first or put down another layer of magenta first?
‘Dip, dip, dipʼ x Eileen O’Sullivan will be hosted in Hang Tough Contemporary, Exchequer St and guests will be invited to book to attend the launch event via Eventbrite.
