This is the artist’s story - starting as a teenager in the grey section, excited by graffiti on trains and along the Frankston train corridor. The green segment depicts the artist developing this creative passion with colourful masterpieces. The brown section explores the feeling of stagnation, confusion and frustration as the artist questions his hobby/obsession. The pink and orange section represents the clarity of the artist feels when he emerges with his own style and forges a new beginning.
