In honour of her first show in Australia Anna wanted to tackle that most iconic of Sydney sights. In line with her vision to show feelings rather than photorealistic interpretations, she delivers a night-time view of the Opera House. First, because painting the night is a challenge, but it is also when the building is most itself, full of light and action. The searchlights disappear into the sky to both witness the occasion, as well as illustrate the overwhelming darkness. Within the building the warm light makes us think of the comfort of home and a space full of excited people. Here we witness the function of the building.
