Lost Painting

The writing on the canvas is deliberately hard to read. The text for the painting is my poem 'Unfamiliar'. The poem and painting muse on the mixed feelings I have of going back to my birthplace, Sydney, as it has changed beyond recognition over three decades. The frame is included in the price. A transcript is below: UNFAMILIAR Spending eight weeks in my homeland after three decades of living abroad, it’s great to connect with my tribe, though my birth town seems like a craved love affair that did not happen. New high rise towers and freeways stud suburban streets, virtual strangers, like an almost lover I’ve forgotten I wanted, not touched, tasted or tested. It brims with delights – a bustling harbour, graceful bridges, wildlife, national parks, shimmering opera house, tree-lined streets - but not for me. My melancholic heart gets lost in the gaps, confused, uninvolved and the bloodclot knot remains undissolved.
