Lost Again Painting

LARGE REDUCTION ON PRICE Another version using my sonnet 'Unfamiliar' to investigate the feelings of dislocation after returning to my home city of Sydney. The 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 is lost in the gaps, confused, uninvolved and the bloodclot knot remains undissolved.
