Wen Jun, Geoff Hogg, Michal Teague - "Slipstream"


Traditional Chinese imagery and contemporary Australian art combine in Slipstream. The symbols are wishes for health and wealth. The Peach and Crane symbolise longevity and the Sea, happiness. The ‘Flying Lady’ is a fairy, a daughter of the God, who spreads flowers of happiness. The Fish and Lotus represent abundance and healthy life. The ‘Round Treasure’ on the bonnet also indicates wealth.
A golden map of the southern sky at night continues the celestial theme while pearlescent lines reference the slipstream of a car and the art of place, feng shui, which translates literally as ‘wind and water.’
