DAILY DELIVERIES ... Ed. 3 of 25

A study of the rear of Penders Buildings in Ellenborough St, Ipswich AUS. The collective rear yards of Penders and adjoining sites, which are bounded on the north by the railway line, are a public carpark which runs from street to street and serves as a busier than expected pedestrian thoroughfare. I was attracted by the old weathered facades with their endless wires, pipes and service equipment of all manner and description; by the upper floors which are residential rooms; and by the tin shed on the right hand side which was the rice store for Papa’s Sushi and Rice, a business which closed in 2018. While I sat and sketched, the deliveries kept arriving via the comings and goings of the car. I concluded, rightly or wrongly, that the boxes stacked against the wall were filled with daily newspapers.

I’m an artist and a member of Urban Sketchers Brisbane with a 50 year design background in architecture, urban design, landscape architecture and graphics. My output consists primarily of sketches and hybrid drawings [digitally edited and assembled] which depict local street views. Between 2018 and 2025, I’ve been a finalist and prize winner in a number of Brisbane, Ipswich and Grafton regional art awards as well as ArchiGraphicArts [Moscow]; winning a first prize in drawing at this year’s Brisbane EKKA. I have been invited to exhibit my work at the Venice Architecture Biennale but can’t afford the starting price. My sketches are included in the World Of Urban Sketching by Stephanie Bower published in the United States in late 2022. In 2024 I attended AsiaLink Sketchwalk Penang as an invited urban sketching demonstrator. Aside from hand drawing which is a great pleasure, much of my work is an exploration of the meeting of hand and computer ... the meeting of craft and industrial process. I try to bring a sense of art and poetry to whatever I do. AI 2025 DEC.
