The Spray Room is excited to host ‘Carpark Stories’ - An exhibition and launch of Thomas Ling’s first photo book. ‘Carpark Stories’ is a 74-page photo book that is the result of three years of photographing across Australia.

“A zoo of the anthropomorphic variety, there is nothing quite as diverse as a car park. A means to an end and a launch pad to adventure, a commune of the beginning and end. A home of eager souls ready to face the world. We all know of the exploits between parking our cars and driving off again, but we rarely give any credit to the tarmac that allows these journeys to take place, the open-air temple of adventure that is the car park.” - Foreword by Mickey Mason
