Australian Silo Art Trail

<div>The Rosebery Silo was completed in late 2017 and is the 13th silo in the Australian Silo Art Trail.</div><div><br></div><div>Before commencing her artwork on the Rosebery silo, Melbourne based artist Kaff-eine, spent time in the Mallee assisting “Rone” on the lascelles silos mural project. Kaff-eine also used this time to travelling between the neighbouring communities. She discovered the natural wonders of the environment around her and&nbsp; acquainted herself with the local families, farmers and business owners of the area also.</div><div>By doing this Kaff-eine identified the elements that she felt truly represented the spirit and tenacity of the Mallee.</div><div>On one silo she captures the image of a young female farmer, a strong woman who is used to the hardships of the land. Her clothes are workshirt and jeans with turned down cowboy boots, which illustrates the life she lives. Sufferings through drought, fires and the other hardships of the land.</div><div>On the other silo is a man sharing a tender moment with a very close friend. He portrays the image of the typical Mallee farmer with his Akubra hat, boots and oilskin vest. Where as the horse, with head bent shows its mutual trust, love&nbsp; and genuine affection for his companion and owner.</div><div><br></div>

<div>Stunning wall in Melbourne's legal precinct by Kaffeine, who says of the work<br><br>"The Supreme Court of Victoria’s unicorn is a symbol of colonial power &amp; control, &amp; the Westminster system of law. The kangaroo symbolises First Nations Australians’ complex systems of lore, which continue to this day. It felt surreal &amp; special to be supported to paint about the ongoing battle between two legal systems, right in the middle of Melbourne’s legal precinct.&nbsp;<br><br>I don’t have the answers as to how the country is going to fix our colonial wrongs, or the devastating legacy of the Frontier Wars, illegal occupation &amp; dispossession; but I do know that we have to keep asking the questions, &amp; placing them in the minds of those with the power to change law &amp; policy.<br><br>I encourage law &amp; policy makers, &amp; the public to think about this battle as they pass my mural at 540 Little Bourke st. I hope that when the mural’s gold chrome paint reflects flashes of sunlight into surrounding offices &amp; skyscrapers, the occupants pause to consider the meaning of the mural.&nbsp;<br><br>There are many public depictions of the Imperial unciorn in the legal precinct; I’m stoked that mine now joins the herd."<br><br></div>

The Lore and The Law

Kaff-eine

<div>This artwork is a tribute to LGBTI youth activist and Wear It Purple founder Katherine Hudson. Painted alongside two androgynous figures, this piece is different to others which usually involves one figure. With the artist simultaneously battling her fear of heights on a swaying platform, this painted also represented Ms Hudson and the "Rainbow Youth" who struggle with depression and suicide.</div>
