This work will be on display at the Bluethumb Gallery in Richmond, Melbourne for the 2023 Bluethumb Art Prize Finalists Exhibition from October 11th to November 27th. Delivery of this work will take place following the 2023 Bluethumb Art Prize Awards Night on October 26th.

The Sirius Building, an emblem of Sydney’s past as a Housing Commission apartment block, now transforms into a canvas of luxury—a metamorphosis from 74 units to 10 opulent apartments. Commuting on the Sydney Harbour Bridge train, my gaze is often drawn to its enigmatic windows, sparking curiosity about the stories concealed within.

This architectural marvel evokes a complex relationship—an intricate dance of love and disdain. The quality Brutalism style, designed by Tao Gofers, reflects Australia’s unique aesthetic. Originally intended to be painted white, akin to the nearby Opera House, budget constraints left it unpainted. And in this deviation from the plan, an authentic beauty emerged, adding depth to the building’s narrative.

Positioned elegantly outside Wynyard Train Station, at the intersection of George Street and King Street, this vintage marvel exudes a nostalgic allure that harks back to a bygone era of travel and adventure. Against the backdrop of the city's modern skyline, the bus serves as a captivating old and new, inviting passers-by to embark on a journey through both history and contemporary urban life. With its whimsical charm and historic significance, this scene captures the essence of Sydney's rich cultural heritage and enduring allure.

Originally designed for both Rose and Max Seidler, the house pays homage to Rose Seidler's pivotal role in initiating and overseeing the commission, leading to the naming of the house after her. Additionally, a stylish Blue Vintage Mustang parked outside adds a touch of elegance and modernity to the iconic structure, blending classic design with contemporary flair.

Imagine standing at the edge of Quebec Lake, surrounded by the stunning beauty of nature. In this scene, a charming blue house stands out against the backdrop of the lake, its colour echoing the tranquil waters. A vintage blue Chevy car rounds the corner, adding a touch of nostalgia and warmth to the winter landscape, hinting at the arrival of holiday festivities. As an artist, capturing this picturesque moment would entail highlighting the harmonious blend of man-made structures with the natural environment, evoking feelings of coziness, joy, and the magic of the season

Behold the green All-American home standing proudly amidst a vast property adorned with towering trees and golden grasses, painting a picturesque scene straight out of a storybook. At the forefront, a classic VW Buggy sits as if frozen in time, evoking a sense of retro charm and carefree spirit. This captivating blend of vintage allure and natural beauty invites you to escape into a tranquil oasis where memories are made and time stands still.
