A late night train. Strangers waiting to have it take them away from somewhere they'd rather not be; or are they leaving somewhere they don't want to? Are they trying to get somewhere? Away from something? Both? It’s just a late night train.

Simply an image of a building that will stir a wide array of feelings in each, individual viewer. A blight on society? A sign of urban decay? A small business owner trying to eek out a living? Nothing at all? Whatever your story is, that is the correct one. This was the oldest strip club in New Zealand. I did the painting when I read a story about how they were tearing it down.
