About the drawing
Drawn at the Cooperage, C.S.R. Refinery, where they made the barrels for the rum at the Distillery. Now this building is the site of the "Cooperage cafe".
This drawing  focuses on the mysterious patterns of shadow made by the fall of light. The cavernous space & rows of columns reminded me of the interiors of cathedrals & ruined abbeys. The wall at the back was the famous butter-yellow Pyrmont sandstone, which has been quarried to decorate the best loved historic Sydney buildings such as the Australian Museum, the Sydney Post Office, the University of Sydney. At sunset the sandstone rock face caught the last rays of light & the derelict warehouse was transformed.

About the 2 drawings
The ultimate bird’s eye view of Sydney – the top of the western pylon of the unfinished ANZAC Bridge. I decided  to concentrate on the stark industrial landscapes on the north-west. After it was operational for 1 year did Bob Carr christen it the ANZAC Bridge.

I was invited up here as the resident artist of the Pyrmont Power Station, when Sydney Electricity were  discussing Bridge lighting the RTA & Baulderstone Hornibrook.
While the bridge was being built, access to the top was by a tiny green lift, within the legs on the eastern and western side. After construction finished, access to the top was a lot more strenuous. The legs of the ANZAC Bridge are hollow! To get to the top one has to have the ability to climb a steel rung ladder- the last 30 metres are vertical.
