For a long time, I have been fascinated by directional and instructive street signs. The fascination is a mixed one between their symbolism and utility and their frequent visual overload in combination. I have previously explored their use in 2 and 3 dimensional interpretations and assembled their use in surreal formats.

Right now, 40 metres under Rozelle in Sydney Australia, breathes the assembly of possibly the world’s most complex subterranean spaghetti junction, to be constructed over multiple levels.  

In this work I have extracted a “progress report” in the form of abstracted road directional signs and roundabouts. Using pen and acrylic paint I have depicted different phases of their design and construction. I have stripped away the suburban landscape to reveal the mysterious underground activity.
