Artwork Description

A lit restaurant on the harbour front in Hobart.
This gleaming machine is an alien intruder in the peaceful scene it exudes an uncomfortable threat like a weapon.
It is parked on the footpath hard up against the window ,the owner has gone inside to have dinner but still wants to keep an eye on the prized posession .
I found it an interesting contrast.
