The glamour of celebrity, wealth and excessive consumption mythologised by Rodeo Drive and Beverley Hills is brought into conversation with the Narrandera Waste Depot to question desire, aspirations, status and consumption. Living in a society that values capital as a measure of power and success, what does it mean to live in Beverley Hills or Narrandera? How are these locations and the lives lived within them different or similar based on social, cultural and economic wealth? In a world of widening inequalities, the coveting and accumulation of resources amongst the few seems immoral and ludicrous, especially given the impending climate crisis where the burning sun will melt botox faces and the tip will be full of luxury heels because who really has time anymore to strut their stuff with so many wars going on around water ownership?

In 1975, Silvia Federici wrote a book called 'Wages Against Housework'. It articulated the concerns of a movement that began in 1972 across the UK, USA, Canada and Italy, where ʻdomestic labourʼ and ʻunpaid caring rolesʼ demanded a wage for their service. The premise was simple ‒ capitalism had created the housewife and so it should pay for it. The housewife supported the male worker and raised the next generation of workers. Without their support, the whole system would falter. The movement reframed housewives as workers in struggle. Lyrics by Sarah McEwan. Music by Sarah McEwan and Drew Thomason. Vocals, Drums: Sarah McEwan Guitar, Bass: Drew Thomason Engineer, Producer: Vic McEwan. With special thanks to the 2019 CSU Sound students who assisted in recording drums. This artwork was part of the exhibition 'Something to Say' at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery, 4–8 November 2020, for the regional arts conference Artstate.

This is a film clip of a band formed for one night only to record music made with a grapevine. The Grapevine Trio consisting of Drums (Sarah McEwan), Saxophone (Jared Bianchini) and Vic McEwan playing a Grapevine was created as part of the project Yenda Rain (www.yendarain.com) which is a project working with the community of Yenda exploring the consequences of the major flood events of 2012. This is one of many things made with local community members during Vic McEwan's time as Artist In Residence in Yenda NSW (Museums and Galleries NSW in partnership with Griffith Regional Art Gallery). This video continues Vic's exploration of extracting poetry and wonder from practical items. In this case, making music from a grapevine at a functioning vineyard. Lighting by Cheyne Halloran and video by Darrin Baker. This video was made possible Via The Australia Council for the Arts Art Start program of which Vic McEwan was a recipient of in 2013. www.yendarain.com www.vicmcewan.com www.cadfactory.com.au
