Day in, Day out

1 Hercules St (at Proximity Apartments) & Harbour Rd & Portside Wharf commercial precinct, Hamilton QLD
‘Day in, Day out’ reflects the busyness of everyday life and serves as a positive reminder to be present in the moment through the inspirational quotes that can be found on all 4 sides of the Energex Padmount Transformer, to spread positivity no matter what side of the Transformer is visible. Amongst the vibrancy and wacky characters, there are details of real world landmarks which are within walking distance of the Transformer, making references to “Eat Street”, The Sir Leo Hielscher Bridge, and the Hamilton Boardwalk.

POSITIVITY

Tara Hooppell’s pulsating artwork ‘Day in, Day out’ reflects the busyness of everyday city life while expressing a rhythm that transcends and connects.

Through inspirational quotes featured on all sides of the Energex Padmount Transformer, Tara’s artwork serves as a reminder to be present in the moment, and to spread positivity no matter what. Amongst the vibrancy and wacky characters, there are details of real world landmarks that are within walking distance of the Transformer, making references to Eat Street Northshore, The Sir Leo Hielscher Bridge, and the Hamilton Boardwalk.

Tara painted her first artwork for Artforce Brisbane in 2015 when she was just 10 years old! When painting ‘Day in, Day out’, she was assisted by Harrison Lennox.
