Roma

I had a great time in Roma, Queensland painting the ceilings at the Life Flight base, Roma Airport. The brand new facility will operate as a visitor centre and base for operations out of the hanger. A big thanks to Brandi Projects for the opportunity to be involved.

Whilst in the area I took on a small commission in the CBD for the lovely folk at Golders Mensland Roma is home of the bottle tree and numerous historical buildings and Golders is one of them. I was given the chance to paint something site specific. I drew inspiration from the flora and fauna in the vicinity and the concept responds to the immediate surrounds whilst skewing notions of time and place. The juxtaposition of modern street furniture (that’s manufactured not far from my studio) and ornate historic architecture reminds of the diversity and evolution in the natural world as bottle trees rise from a concrete jungle.
