Parapet, 2024

60 × 60 cm Acrylic on Canvas

Not Available

Initially one sees a daytime view looking up at the “North and south heads” on Sydney harbour. When flipped 180 degrees the viewer sees a night time view , down towards the harbour immediately adjacent to the heads , from a parapet at “Middle head”:a series of military trenches & canons installed by the colony to repel invading armies, post 1788. This anamorphic painting transports the viewer to different times & use of land pre and post colonisation, through morphosis. A myriad of perspectives, past & present tense, literal and figurative,day vs night & man made vs natural protective barriers
