Donor: Jenna Richards Art 
Value: Priceless 
Original Artwork 

One of the most unique items featured in tonight's Silent Auction, this original artwork was created by local artist and CHSS team member Jenna Richards and was previously exhibited at Coffs Harbour's Laneway Gallery. 

The work takes its title, What Exactly Is the Function of a Rubber Duck?, from a memorable line in a beloved childhood film that playfully questions our tendency to search for meaning in even the most delightfully absurd things. 

By dramatically enlarging an everyday rubber duck, Jenna invites viewers to embrace curiosity, humour and imagination while gently poking fun at the seriousness with which we sometimes approach life. 

This striking original painting offers the opportunity to take home a one-of-a-kind work from an emerging local artist while supporting a great cause.
