"The Park Lands are a rare and precious treasure. Against the bustle of the city we have a green island sanctuary where tired office workers and native birds alike come to recharge. Stepping off the concrete and into the dappled shade is like taking a deep breath. This painting depicts the changing light around Tuthangga (Park 17) during the after-work commute, when the pathway ceases to be a route to the bus stop, and transforms into an enchanted forest.I don't work in the city any more, but the city's lungs keep breathing, and they will always be special to me."
