Commuters - Limited Edition of 10 Print

It's a very typical scene of two commuters making their way through the Wellington Central Railway Station Underground tunnel to a train. I like the way that it's reminiscent of one of U2's album covers (All That You Can't Leave Behind). It's grainy, moody and a homage to friendship -and how it makes the daily grind bearable. At the same time, it's a reminder of the life that I prefer to leave behind. A motivating rendition of the fate that awaits. When I was growing up in Wellington the railway station, and the trains loomed large in my life. If wanted to go see a film you went "down the Hutt" (Hutt Valley) ~to Woburn, Nae Nae, -or Wellington, and of course the "Picture Theatres" were larger in Wellington, and it was more of an adventure to take the train. On the Hutt Valley Line of suburban railway stations, my friends and I spent a lot of our youth getting on and off the red railway cars that served the line, running up and down the valley. You caught the train to go roller-skating, see a movie/"Spacies" in the City. The subways were pretty disgusting, covered in thousands of spots of chewing gum hardened a million times by commuters feet, pummelling them into crusty soiled blobs of putty, the tunnels usually smelt of urine, cigarette butts and newspaper clogged the drains, and in winter the steep ramps that led down to the under railroad tunnel would will with water. One year (1974) the water was literally up to our waist as we walked to school. The tunnels would be filled with school children of all ages (in those days virtually every kid walked to school). My entire childhood sometimes seems like an interminable wait for the future "in the form of a train" to deliver us to some urban adventure in the city.

This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall.
