Collins Street 2007
oil and collage on canvas
91.0 x 214.0 cm
St Leonard's College, Brighton
My work was inspired by John Brack's Collins Street, 5pm . I wanted to capture both the hum-drum of the 9–5 workday and the bustle of commuters contrasted with the grand and timeless architecture in one of Melbourne's oldest streets, and give it a modern twist. To highlight positive aspects of contemporary Melbourne I included people that reflect our cultural diversity, and represented old and young people, men and women. I mixed traditional oil painting with inkjet print, reinforcing the combination of old methods and new technologies.
