Hume Triptych
Local artist Mia Schoen was commissioned to make this work for the opening of the Hume City Council Municipal Office.
These three oil paintings are of diverse parts of Hume. On the left is Craigieburn with the distant City of Melbourne on the horizon. Broadmeadows is in the centre with the Hume City Council office on the horizon. The painting on the right is Sunbury, looking north and outwards. Each of the paintings could stand alone, however the horizon line links the three images.
These paintings show Hume as a place where people have come to establish homes and raise families, where people work, and business is thriving; and where some land – at present – is untouched and open.
Hume Tritych can be visited in the foyer at the Hume City Council Municipal Offices, 1079 Pascoe Vale Rd, Broadmeadows.
