August 2018, arts by Michael Daly

In his school days in Toowoomba he set the task to widen artistic freedom generally. With the encouragement of his Brisbane art mentors he rejected the modern emphasis on artists fixed into their marketable 'style' and 'periods'. 
He replicated and indulged in genres randomly from work to work and became intrigued with conceptualism. At about 15 he decided to call his art mission universalism. 

But it was to envelope his whole-of-life experience and understanding, and persists today in the blurring edges of political, spiritual, cultural and community grounds.
