This painting depicts the people who came to my home town of Kwolyin and the interaction between them. The brush stroke that goes right through the painting is the railway line, where people travelled on the train. Or in some instances where the swaggy or tramp followed when looking for work. The short lines that stop describes the people who were mainly men came to Kwolyin for employment. Sometimes these people would stay for a short time but in some circumstances lived for most or all of their lives and eventually died in Kwolyin. Kwolyin was a meeting place of people coming and going.
