Alt 2.

Street trees on Alt Cresent. A strange little, but somewhat, iconic place in the history of me as I went to nearby Campbell High.  

One day, mid 1980’s, the 15-year-old ‘trouble-makers’ mowed AC/DC into the grass on the hill next to the quadrangle. I thought, at the time, that it was the most subversive and creative thing I had ever seen. While I was suitably impressed, I remained aloof. They were after all ‘headbangers’. 

In homage to the headbangers, I felt the need to include some cursive forms in the brushwork in this painting, but not in a way that could be read. I wanted the writing to look like words that could almost be mown into the grass or written in the clouds and reflected onto the ground.
