NB: 'Urban Mesh' is Magdalene Carmen's art advocacy on sustainable, creative urban travel, supporting Global Goal No. 11, Sustainable Cities And Communities: "the simplest and most universal mode being catching public transport if not walking, cycling, scooting. If every human who did not practically need a car could just ditch it. Wheel-free hands = freer bodies + minds: freer to imagine, create and contribute to healthier, more resilient, creative, sustainable cities and city living."

URBAN MESH #MELBOURNE
"My city train window presents me with stunning, ephemeral composites of nature, architecture and particular urban textures that strike me as abstract industrial art I am compelled to make tangible. The sky's blues, oranges and pinks mesh with overhead power lines and surge into concrete and glass, birthing new shapes and patterns that surprise and please. I am also reminded of Einstein's theory on the relative nature of space and time, where a train window view is a reference point in explanations on the subject. Would each frame repeat in detail if I observed the urban landscape from the same window each time? No, because what is concrete might be fixed but not the drama of the sky nor my angle of observation. I freeze the frames; here and there reimagine their colours. Welcome to my abstract city." |
