What kind of “Happy Ending” is carved from cold, hard granite? Here at the University of Queensland Art Museum, you’ll find Nell’s “Happy Ending,” a 2006 sculpture that makes you ponder just that. This isn’t some romanticized vision in marble. “Happy Ending” is crafted from Noble Black granite, a material as stark and uncompromising as its title. Nell, born in 1975, is known for her darkly humorous and often heart-wrenching art. Her work often explores themes of birth, death, and everything in between, infused with pop culture references and deeply personal touches. You might recognize some of her other works, like the neon piece “The Dr. said it was like being hit by lightning” or her award-winning self-portrait. “Happy Ending” joined the UQ Art Collection alongside two of those pieces, a testament to Nell’s ability to make us confront life’s big questions, with a wry smile and a touch of granite.
