Transcript - Transporting Arts Pilot Program Caroline Springs station

A transcript of a video with Ana Hanson, the artist that created the installation at Caroline Springs station.

[Start transcript]

My name is Ana Hanson

I'm a visual artist

living in Caroline Springs,

in Melton in Melbourne.

We are at the Caroline Springs

train station

and this is my artwork

for Traveler's Garden,

which has recently been installed.

A lot of my art is inspired by nature.

I also have a lot of art movements

that influence my style.

Like from traditional landscape art

to contemporary movements

like street art, illustration

and a lot of that

has gone into this piece, I think.

I was looking for something

that would bring a bit of joy

to commuters

who were travelling through the station.

It's a real honour

to be chosen for this artwork.

It also has a lot of meaning

for me to be chosen

to have my art at V-Line Station,

because I am from the country

now I live in the city.

A lot of my art actually explores

that tension

between a love for nature

and all of the urban

and contemporary influences around us.

I feel it's quite fitting

because V-Line is a bridge

between the country and the city.

I know that

lots of commuters are going to see it

‘train beeps’

while they're being beeped at

by the trains.
