TOP END TOUR 2011 - PART 10
The final stage of my Top End work was two and a half week stint working in Tennant Creek. This was organised by Barkly Regional Arts, with funding from the Coca Cola Foundation. During my stay I worked primarily with groups from the Tennant Creek High School as well as sessions with STEPS training and Youthlinx. I worked closely with Tristan Duggie, a young local teacher and artist to train him in stencil and mural processes. Together with the other participants we were able to complete a number of murals in the town, adding a whole bunch of colour and vibrancy.
The project also included Adelaide artist Nish Cash working in the community for a similar period of time. Here are some shots of an impromptu collaborative wall that we painted together. Big thanks goes out to George and Efsta from the Tennant Creek Emporium who donated wall space to the project.
TOP END TOUR 2011 - PART 7
One of the major outcomes for the Tennant Creek High School Group was a mural for the exterior of the local swimming pool. The underwater theme was an easy choice. We also completed a smaller scale version of this mural at the High School as a bit of a warm up.
Here are some action shots.
