The question that remains is who is Other? Although we declared that a vote for Other was a vote for Juliana Engberg, it has been pointed out to us that we don’t have the power to make that declaration and nominees for an equally powerful Other list include: Alexie Glass, Uplands Gallery, Debra Halpern, Jane Scott, Tony Elwood, Max Delany, Jason Smith, Charlotte Day, Samantha Compte, Naomi Cass, Daniel Palmer, Stuart Koop, Penelope Aitken, Suzanne Davies, Ruth Bain, Maudie Palmer, Helen Gory, James Mollison, Robert Nelson, Robyn McKenzie, Francis Lindsay, Charles Green, Bala Starr, Clare Stewart, Sue Cramer, Lesley Always, Patricia Piccinini, Ricky Swallow, John Nixon, Guy Abrahams and on and on and on… While we decide, please enjoy our new poll.
