Hanging I don’t like the roads, I don’t like to drive.

$600.00

Artwork Details

MediumOil, Wood, Ready to hangDimensions80cm (W) x 2.5cm (H) x 80cm (D)

This painting is from a series of work I exhibited in Adelaide, in 2025. The series was exhibited under the name “Clang”



The works in this series were tongue in cheek reflections of the artist. They show light hearted humour and staring at the sun sincerity. This body of work reflected on a recent car accident I had, putting me in hospital for six days and leaving with a bad heart, and my experience as an artist practicing for over a decade. Resulting with work on themes of anxiety surrounding issues of the self, the body, urbanisation, climate, and artistry.



This work is named after a poem it reads:



“I don’t like the roads, I don’t like to drive.
I’d prefer to ride my bike,
If that’s alright ?
I don’t like head trauma,
I don’t like bitumen, I don’t like concrete.
I like dirt, and wood panel flooring. “
