About "Farewell Driveway - Suburbia 1976"

About the artwork

An ochre-yellow station wagon stands tightly in profile at the curb. Moving boxes and a rolled-up carpet roll balance on the roof rack; the family is ready to drive off. Behind the side window sits a 12-year-old boy, head against the glass, his gaze fixed on the intersection where his past ends. Twelve metres away on the footpath stands a thirteen-year-old girl in bright red short shorts and red and white striped T-shirt. Her long blonde hair dances in the warm spring breeze as she waves one more time. Between them is a narrow strip of asphalt, but emotionally there is an ocean of unspoken childhood love.

The image exudes the muted Kodachrome colours of the 1970s: mustard, avocado and one telling red accent. Fine film grain gives the whole thing that palpable nostalgia in which sadness and sweetness blend imperceptibly.

Olafique collection
This work belongs to my own Olafique series: images that, like Erwin Olaf's photography, evoke a raw underbelly and tell stories without characters having to touch. In The Driveway Farewell, you feel the quiet breaking point between childhood and adulthood-precisely the territory where Olafique belongs.
