Description
My daughter's Bicycle, it was brand new and was stolen. My daughter she never got it back, and from the heartache of this callous robbery I created an art piece from the photo digitally enhanced, a white bike turned pink. The starkness of the robbery given a softer look with the pink...maybe those thieves will get caught one day..they sawed through the lock outside the library in southport. My daughter is a teacher of the sciences. I don't think they knew that....and she treasured that bike so when she sees the photos I took of it she feels sad..the pink, therefore, takes the edge of it, makes a great retro style minimalism selective colour picture

Thankyou Debra, Yes it is a sad story and she never insured it, she thought it came under her house insurance but it didn't. :(
