Join me for that first sip of black gold at Bondi Beach. This work explores the ritual of morning coffee and capturing a moment suspended between stillness and the morning rush. Is it the moment before, or after? you decide.
 
The vibrant turquoise espresso machine is a portrait as much as it is a place. It is a nod to Bondi's eclectic energy, with loose, gestural brushwork. I love the stacked plates and glassware suggesting the many people who are about to enjoy their own first sips- I am excited for them! You can almost hear the hum of the clanging cups and the rolling waves.
 
The works speaks to the intersection of routine and place, where locals and travellers converge. Coffee, like Bondi, is iconic.
Next time, join me!
