Description: From a distance you’ll see a vibrant texture wrapping the wall. Flowing horizontal shapes, bright and organic, span the width of the structure.
The design mirrors the rolling hill lines of the region’s landscape. As you get closer, the artwork’s texture reveals itself as a collection of smaller painted illustrations which closely represent the heritage of Riflebutts Reserve.
Illustrations and shapes of the surroundings include waves, birds, kangaroos, weather, whales, fish, turtles, snakes, river, smoke, native vegetation, leaves and trees. These represent themes of the traditional owners and are natural icons that still exist in the Reserve today.
