Having recently returned to vehicles as a major motif in my painting practice, perhaps it was not so strange to find my gaze focusing on a number of diggers working on the oval outside my studio in Primrose Park. While some excavators pulled their weight - digging and heavy lifting - one jaunty little red digger didn’t seem to be doing any digging. He appeared to spend his time busily moving back and forth from one spot to another. Rather like life really.
