Artwork Description

Ive explored the subject of passengers on trains before, but this one sticks with me. I think we've all seen or even done it once, that little meditative moment between stops, some moments can be longer than others but all seem to have the same effect, mentally preparing for our destination or day. This work depicts those moments, a stranger gets on at Central Station, hits play, closes their eyes and just takes a moment to be within their own world, a few short minutes later they get up exit at Circular Quay and continue with their day. I like those moments, to both be in them and to capture them.

Perhaps you’re familiar with them too.

Artist Bio

I find that my art enables me to express elements of my world that can't necessarily be seen by the naked eye, its an attempt at conveying something a bit intangible. Abstraction is the primary way I communicate my ideas and experiences in art.
The naive and somewhat primitive lines, shapes, colours and textures I use are my attempt at capturing the atmosphere, personality or feeling of a place or person I have encountered in my life, realism or a photograph in my opinion doesn't always capture these elements of the world.
I feel that my art brings these to the surface...it shows the soul of something, somewhere, or someone. Perhaps you will see someone you know within my strange works, maybe even yourself.
