HOT JAM DOUGHNUTS ANYONE – AMERICAN DOUGHNUT KITCHEN, QUEEN VIC MARKET
One night, in 2012, one of my sons, Taylor, took a photograph of the American Doughnut Kitchen Van situated at the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne for a Year 12 assignment.
This photo was etched in my mind as I loved the candid “slice of life” moment that the photo captures. Another aspect of my painting that really captured my interest is the way the workers are framed by the windows, which gives my work a cinematic, observational quality.
The essence of a lot of my paintings is capturing scenes of everyday life, giving ordinary people the dignity of honest, genuine labor/life. I feel I have portrayed this in my painting as an accurate, unembellished depiction of the three workers in the doughnut van.
