Sydney CBD
Windows masked off by black garbage bags, shops shut due to the decrease in customer traffic. Combined with a plastic guard that blocks conditioned fingers, a pedestrian crossing button is wrapped in clear film, an additional preventative measure?
But graven on your bark may ye bear such writing as shall declare Cydippe beautiful
- Callimachus (310 - 240 BC)
Towards the eastern fringes of the Sydney CBD, the city laps at the edge of Hyde Park - the oldest public park in Australia. The southernmost link in a chain of parklands that extend to the shores of Sydney Harbour, Hyde Park is bisected lengthways by a promenade enclosed in an archway of mature Hill's Weeping Figs. The promenade, a dappled passage for commuters and tourists, is a place of juxtapositions - and on the faces of many of the Hill's Figs are the raw calluses of arborglyphs, markings cut into the exteriors of living trees.
Showcasing works by new writers and artists, Product, an independent arts and culture magazine, has kindly featured some of my wind drawings within their pages. You can check out the feature online here.
