The reclaimed reclaimer

At the end of our visit to Port Hedland I notice how the trees were perfectly masking one of the decommissioned reclaimers and how it looked like nature was taking back this machine. Given the smallest amount of water and a chance to grow nature will take over. I took this idea and the influence from the engineering drawing workbooks to make this drawing where this decommissioned machine is becoming masked by reclaiming nature and parts of it are turning back into an engineering drawing.

A print of this illustration is available as a limited edition of 100 copies and is available to purchase from the Port Hedland Courthouse Gallery from this week.
