“ Amor’s image of an old buoy, pulled from the sea, originated in the watercolour Buoy at Port Welshpool, 1999 (Castlemaine Art Museum), which was painted on the pier at Port Welshpool, near Wilsons Promontory, Victoria… Amor has vastly increased the size of the buoy, making it improbably large as it dwarfs not only the human figure beside it but also the infrastructure of the dock… this gigantic, once-useful object, from which seaweed now hangs, has become a useless artefact from the past, in a scene that evokes decay, decrepitude and the passing of time, and tells of the empire of the sea conquering the dominion of humankind. ‘‘ Irena Zdanowicz
