"the unrenovated", curse of

For a while now, i've been haphazardly working on a series of all the unrenovated spaces of Newtown. Little eyes in the storm of renovation fever that is sweeping through the city like an ill wind, scattering "down lights" and "smeg" wherever it lands.

 

The eerie thing is, every time I post a photo of one of these places on flickr, I find that I soon see a "development proposal" sign posted at the site. I'm going to have to stop. The latest to go is the empty frontage with the sunflower painting on the interior wall. Sigh.

 

Anyway, i thought perhaps if i posted this unredeemable pile, the curse would end. My apologies to anyone who might be squatting there.
