PRIVATE COLLECTION
This artwork is a reflection on my youth.
It is based on a series of slides taken one sunny day in 1981 at a friend's home. I guess at this point I had reached a zenith moment.
Top of the mountain. Height of my career and youth.
PICS: John Hayman (1981)
Everything is ordered and had its place.
Mixing it with “the beautiful people” and they were. That's me in the pool....so cool. Interesting that in a worldly sense many would perceive that I had "made it" to some degree.
But the truth is I'd never felt lonelier.
From memory the view from this backyard scanned the Sydney City skyline. Maybe the sky is pink because I saw the world through rose coloured glasses.
The blank faces in the painting are a statement themselves.
Our stories were yet to be written across our canvases. NW☺︎
