Upper West Side Project

7 careers later

On 9 November 2016, I installed an artwork made from cloth tape on a chairwire fence the corner of Clarendon Street and Philip Street, Adelaide as part of the Upper West Side Project. 

The artwork's location, surrounded by uni students, got me thinking about the many careers I've had. Something I couldn't have imagined as a boy. This work shows portraits of me as that boy and today, 7 careers later. 

Thanks very much to the Project Committee, Adelaide City Council and the local business in the Hindley Street west district for their support of this project.
