Artist statement

For this piece for the art seat in Newtown I wanted to talk about the experience of walking around the suburbs of the inner west.

I love how everything is connected in the inner city; a coffee cup is next to a terrace is next to someone’s BBQ is next to the train underground. It feels like a huge manmade symbiotic machine, living and breathing.

Catch the train departing the platform 5mins on the hour (may be running 15 seconds late). Train is currently not running!
