New Work - Reclaimed Power
Reclaimed Power, White Bay Power Station, Watercolour on paper, Framed 50x70cm
This piece is a celebration of a local icon's transformation: the White Bay Power Station. Once a rusty, unused, abandoned venue, it has now been reborn to host the Sydney Biennale. This transformation holds immense significance for our community and beyond. Witnessing a historical site repurposed for art and culture is not just inspiring—it's a dream come true for many.
The repurposing of the White Bay Power Station symbolises the power of art to breathe new life into forgotten spaces. It's a beacon of hope, showing that our heritage can be preserved and celebrated through creative endeavours. This revitalisation opens doors for locals and visitors alike to explore the intersection of history, art, and culture in our beloved neighbourhood of Balmain.
Through my artwork, I aim to convey the love and passion I hold for our neighbourhood. As always, I'm deeply inspired by our local icons, and the White Bay Power Station's transformation is no exception. It's a testament to the resilience that the locals have been fighting for a meaningful use of this historical site. This revitalization demonstrates the creativity and determination of our community, and I'm honoured to capture its essence on paper.
