Ghost Tower

| The empty wharf' oil on canvas 25 x 51 cm 2009 |
It's finally happened.
Sydney Ports Corporation has moved out of the Sydney Harbour Control Tower at Barangaroo and into their spiffy new purple and silver premises at Port Botany.
The mushroom head of the tower now stands, isolated on the empty wharf, looming above the holes and piles of demolition rubble starting to accumulate around its base.
The construction workers and excavators appear like rats nibbling away here and there until the entire complex collapses.
There was no fanfare or publicity to mark the end of an era.
Only an eerie silence.
