Notes

Commissioned by TransPerth and Transfield for the Northern Line railway stations. "The theme was anything to do with rail transport so I chose to explore the sexual metaphor of train travel as it was employed by Alfred Hitchcock in "North by Northwest". As this was also the direction of the new line it seemed most appropriate".
