PAMELA BAINCITY OF PORT PHILLIPCity of Port Phillip Tram TracksWatercolour, pencil and pastel, 40 x 45cm, 2011, $250MAPOLOGY is my ongoing project of creative reinterpretation“of maps. My inspiration originates not only from intellectualcuriosity but from the organic sensibility inherent withincartographic structures: the lines, shapes and curvaturesthemselves which create a cacophony of bizarre formationsare a pleasure to express in my own anthropomorphic style.In this work, the interlocking suburb shapes, tram routes,and overall configuration of the City of Port Phillip are analogousof the human body: an organism having individual components thatfunction together as a whole much the same as cities of people do.Pamela completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at the University of Tasmania in 1994, but has hadlinks with the City of Port Phillip through work and family for over 10 years. Further studiesinclude two Graduate Diplomas and a Masters degree in other intellectual practices achievedfrom the University of Melbourne and Monash University.URBAN CREATURES 09
