Conceptually, ‘Bus Stop on the New Estate’, appears to me as a seesaw; a balancing act between the dark detail of the seated figure and the bright open nothingness of the yet to be built housing estate. The bus stop sign and the tap represent the full potential of what is yet to be realised.
The landscape is textural with layers of colour waiting for something to be built and the kerb indicates that construction is already in the pipeline. I love the contrast of the fussy detail of a polka dot dress against a blank horizon. Its a calm and pensive piece that comes from a reflective state of mind. Finalist in the Moreton Bay Art Awards. Highly Commended- D’Arcy Doyle Art Awards.
