Commuters

Adelaide St pedestrian crossing & between Edward & Albert Sts, Brisbane City QLD
The traffic box design entitled “Commuters” features local animals such as a bush stone-curlew and a green tree frog amongst other animals. I wanted to reflect the diverse, energetic and bustling nature of Brisbane city through this design. The background was drawn from the facade of Sugar ‘n’ Spice Cafe, a classic Brisbane city cafe opened in 1998.

CITY SLICKERS!

City Slickers is a new initiative that enables us to bring colour to boxes that are located too close to the curb to be safely painted. Plus, a new medium and way for creators to get involved with Artforce Brisbane!

This is one of ten digital artworks developed by Queensland College of Art & Design students, printed and wrapped around traffic signal boxes throughout Brisbane city!

Harriet Ramsay’s ‘Commuters’ features a menagerie of local animals, including a bush-stone curlew and a green tree frog, all waiting for their bus at the bus stop!
