Gold lettering on glass reads "Olympia Salon" across the top panes. Below, "Style Cutting" and "Nutri-Tonic Perms" sit beside hand-painted scissors and a comb. The timber window frame is split and bleached, paint curling away in dry strips. Ferns push through gaps between the glass and the brickwork. Pale blue render flakes from the upper facade, exposing red brick beneath. Cloud reflections fill the dark panes.

The series
Parramatta Road
Parramatta Road follows a much older route, used for thousands of years by the Wangal, Wallumedegal, Burramattagal, and Cadigal peoples before colonial adoption around 1789 to 1791. Today it is one of Sydney's main thoroughfares: 23 km of heavy traffic, with used car dealers at the Parramatta end ("Auto Alley") and a mix of historic shopfronts, new apartment blocks, and WestConnex demolition at the eastern end. The series moves between streetscape and individual buildings - 107 Parramatta Road in Annandale (an 1890s Victorian Filigree shopfront with original living quarters above accessible only by ladder), the Marco Polo Motel at Summer Hill, the Olympia Milk Bar in Stanmore, Mario's Meat Market, and shopfronts whose ground floors have been busy for a century while the rooms above have been empty for fifty years.
