Through this piece, I have attempted to depict my somewhat unextraordinary, only familiar, journey to school. I tried to blur the line between the blatantly literal and vague abstraction, augmented alike my perception.

I incorporated the inside of my tram into the street with my tram stop to try and portray the unity of the journey, an experience that doesn’t feel sequential to me.

The tram itself includes indigenous artwork, featured on trams I take most days. I became fascinated with the way this culture had been integrated into my own by passive association, and grateful that I had learnt and experienced ideas in variety through merely travelling to school.

I used patterned techniques to block in areas, such as the artwork on the tram, the bricks on buildings or strands of grass that are not necessarily realistic but represent what I see.

I’m happy with what I have realised in creating it; the profundity in something utterly usual. Had I had a chance to try this again, I’d include more detail to make the journey truer to my perception. Otherwise, I’m satisfied with what process taught me about my place in world—something I’d never truly considered

Such a creative composition and a beautiful ‘tram of thought’. I am drawn to this piece because it is an organised chaos that tells a story and like many things, it doesn’t have to make sense to… make sense. It also reminds me dreams and comic books which I can’t live without!
