LITERATURE:
Connolly, E., Rennie Breaks New Ground, Sydney Morning Herald, Sydney, 6 March 2012:
"One of his works, titled Aborigine and made with stencils, was inspired by a stamp from the 1950s, which depicted a traditional Aboriginal man. About 100 million of these stamps were circulated around the world at a time when Aborigines were not recognised as citizens of Australia, he says. 'It's such a beautiful image which was exported around the world, advertising this kitschy Australia with its Aboriginal people but at the same time we did not have citizenship'."
