Water Under The Bridge Painting

There is a place on the southern side of Sydney harbour, underneath the bridge. Looking out across the water to north Sydney, the heavens dominated by huge amounts of metal, there is a constant rumbling, like a steel drum being pounded from the unending stream of cars, busses and trains overhead. After sundown, the blackness of the water and the reflection of light somehow creates quiet. The only other thing I can compare the experience to is surfing at night. The quiet emptiness within a moment of reflection, unmoved by the surrounding tumult, everything gets swallowed by the infinite depth of the black ocean. I’ve scattered ashes at the spot, and if I’m anywhere near the area will detour just to go by, but only at night. This was created on a piece of concrete formwork plywood, ‘appropriated’ from a building site. It occurs on the frame board of a concrete floor and challenges the idea of ‘getting over it'. My work is committed to refuse, reused to refute the value of waste.
