Tin Man
Dean Alston
26 March 2025
Dean Alston paints Treasurer Jim Chalmers as the tin man from the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz. A yellow brick road is the central plot device of the film, a metaphor for a journey full of twists and turns. The one featured here, however, is more suburban red brick.
