ART PRINTS & ORIGINALS
Done Art and Design The art is by Ken Done, who's well known for having
designed his own Australian flag, which he hopes to raise over Australia should
it abandon its present one following the formation of a republic. The clothing
designs—which feature printed sea- and beachscapes, the odd colorful bird, and
lots of pastels—are by his wife Judy. Ken Done's gallery is in Hickson Road, just
off George Street, in the Rocks. Open daily from 10am to 5:30pm. 1 Hickson Rd.,
The Rocks. & 02/9247 2740.
