And the winner is….

Kirra Jamison! For ‘Love Me two times 3′.

Since completing her Bachelor of Fine Art with First Class Honours at Queensland College of Art, Griffith University (2006) Kirra Jamison has exhibited regularly in commercial and artist run spaces throughout Australia. She has been awarded the Anne and Gordon Samstag International traveling Scholarship (2007) and a New Work Grant from the Australia Council (2010). And now, well.. she’s been awarded the Toni & Guy Yen Young Australian Art Award too!

Thanks to all the artists who entered and to everyone who came along and made it such a brilliant night.

Don’t forget that you can check out Kirra’s piece as well as all the other brilliant entries at Gaffa, March 9 – April 2, 2012.
