Diplomacy

Joe (artist name 'cantiquity') is an eco-artist living and working in Kilcoy. He creates pieces from primarily discarded tin cans and other found objects. His work pays homage to the overlooked historical significance of the humble can whilst highlighting environmental concerns. Each of Joe's creations showcase a journey of transforming waste into art.

'Diplomacy' depicts the apparent civilised relationship between a powerful nation and a lesser one - a facade of equality and fairness dressed in fancy jargon, fake smiles, and handshakes.
