The Mechanic

By Christine, Stage 5

Art Write Light 2021 is a  creative writing project curated by Story Factory, in collaboration with visual artist Blak Douglas. During the program, students from Bonnyrigg High School and St Clair High School were introduced to the work of Blak Douglas, and created written and audio pieces responding to his artwork.

The Mechanic

He could hear the hushes of the running water. The machines around him brrrrrd with life. Taps echoed on the linoleum floor. Everything went silent.

Much is Rife, Blak Douglas, 2021
