"Do Conifers Dream?"

Dimensions
40 x 40 cm

A scene of imagined spaces under construction. The painting brings together memories of coastal towns and fragments of suburban estate. Chunks of marine geology festooned with sea kelp sit incongruously with the ubiquitous suburban conifers and construction hoardings. The ultramarine tree declares its own refusal of reality
