In collaboration with local residents, key locations with high public exposure have been identified as bleak and unattractive.
We aim to bring revitalisation and a sense of wonder to these sites through public art that depicts the Australian wilderness taking over these structures, with an unfolding story of events painted in stages.
Community will be encouraged to regularly visit the sites to experience the gradual unfolding of these stories and follow the projects progression via various forms of media.
Throughout the project there will be scheduled times for the public meet with the artist on site.
There is a clear link between wellbeing and the environment we live in. Art and natural beauty improve both our mood and sense of connection.
During community consultation for this project, over 400 people responded in a highly positive way to this concept and over 200 people nominated sites. To us, it is clear that community has a strong desire to improve the appearance and liveability of their home though public art.
These art pieces will encourage greater fondness, curiosity and pride to local public spaces whilst celebrating the beautiful, wild natural Australian environment.

Love the idea but would like to see it out where people can more readily see it, not just laneways.
Hi Didee, thanks! And you’ll be pleased to hear that out of the four locations we have chosen, only one of them is in a Laneway!
