Traffic Jam

As part of my 'Wheel Love' series, this work was inspired by my fascination with vintage bikes. It features a beautiful Italian Motor Guzzi cycle that I saw at a show at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane. I'm no bikie, but I find beauty in bike design.

This original work is oil and acrylic on wood and features fragments of maps, old children's books and music posters that I have scavenged from city streets and cafes.
