PAM AT THE NYLEX CLOCK
The Cremorne silos under the neon are a career piece: no easy access, a curved concrete face, and the entire Punt Road traffic jam as an audience. A Pam on that curve gets seen by more people in a morning than most galleries manage in a year.
THE PLACE
Red neon over the Punt Road hill since 1961, sitting on the old Rosella malting silos beside the Yarra. Time and temperature, flicking over for every car crawling towards Richmond.
The silos underneath are the real story for a painter: concrete cylinders with a rail siding at the bottom and no easy way up. Getting a bird on that curve is a career piece, and it's exactly the kind of spot Pam is known for.
