The drawing wall was a magnetic space at King Billy. Some artists
worked in pairs or small groups, others worked alone. Everyone left their
unique mark. Throughout the day, the drawing wall became a large collaborative
artwork, almost like an earthy take on the street art our capital city is
renowned for. The drawing wall is in fact a large, curved exterior wall made
from a rusty sheet of metal. Our media was ochre sourced from the nearby
Waranga Basin. Over time our images will weather and fade, and ultimately
disappear. Knowing this, artists approached the wall with absolute creative
freedom and the results, though impermanent, were striking, tender and
beautiful.
