Lane Poole is in Dwellingup near Perth western Australia. It’s an extremely picturesque location. Because it’s close to Perth there are usually a large number of campers and visitors. Lots of people escape there for the weekend.

The subject of this painting is not just the picture. Beneath the painting is a message of escaping from the city to freedom, but that when we do, we must be careful not to simply ruin pristine locations like this due to weight in numbers. So the video has some message about being careful too. Watch the video right until the end because there’s a funny little ‘out of place’ sound deliberately put in – just to give you a smile.

This artwork was among the first experimental sliced loaf artworks that I did.
