There are so many places I document within the urban environment that are undergoing dramatic transformation and its important to me as a documentary photographer to photograph these places and spaces so that there is a record of how this places once were and how they are evolving and changing. When I made this photograph I loved all the visual lines happening here - the chaotic nature of the power lines - how we don't often notice these in our everyday and yet they are essentially large pieces of dead trees with live wires over our heads - I imagine when they were first going in that it must have been quite a shock in terms of the visual landscape and yet they have become part of the Australian suburban vernacular. The lines of the looming cranes as well - evoking an ever present feeling of great unknown change about to take place in what we imagine as quite sleepy suburbia.
