Buggy

Loosely painted desaturated hues define a dry bushland location that sets off the home made bush-buggy. With it's Mad Max style appearance, captured en pleir air, conveys a sense of Aussie DIY mechanical ingenuity.

This Buggy, built by my Dad, aided me while painting en plein air at our Beebo property. Used for location scouting it also doubled as my easel. The metal protrusions of this work on salvaged board suggest a steering wheel and allude to the fun of bush exploration.
