The drawing wall

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.
