While the truck is positioned prominently, there are two visible figures which draw your attention. One black, one white – side by side, simply waiting. But there is the potential for movement afoot in the multi colored wheels, joyously effervescent and ready to roll.  This innocent looking urban portrait, installed amidst more seemingly complex Goodbread Alley works, is a masterclass in restraint.  According to Young, there need not always be movement. But as two figures illustrate, there can always be progress.
