Waiting for Repair 30 x 29 cm
The subject was developed from a photographic tour of the repair facility of Severn Valley Heritage Railway at Bewdley. This coach is one of many under refurbishment by a dedicated team of volunteers. I was particularly drawn to the abstract nature of peeling paint, tarpaulin protection, rusted hardware and assorted repair debris. This is an exploration of abstract pattern combined with the literal image of a coach.
