Additional Info
‘The old Woody was feelin’ low about the way things had turned out. It took a while, but at last the ol’ girl decided to do something about it.’
In Glory Days, Jason Waterhouse has taken an Aussie classic, a Holden HQ Kingswood station wagon; ‘The old mechanical hero of family and hoon attempts to get one wheel onto a plinth. The whole chassis has been twisted and the panels seamlessly stretched, as if the metal assembly were organic. Mounting the artistic platform with a bashful scowl, the distorted car belongs to the artifice of a cartoon, where the machine is anthropomorphic.’
