Stanmore

<div>Having the pleasure of meeting and getting to know the homeowner, discovering what they love and mashing it all together for what can contribute to a piece that also speaks to the heart of the community. That's what this piece is about. The man depicted wears work attire, corporate pants and polished leather shoes, however on the weekend this man also enjoyed playing guitar and riding his bicycle. Hence this artwork depicts work and leisure in a fun and dynamic combination.<br>Commissioned through the <strong>Perfect Match</strong> scheme that pairs home owners or businesses with artists. This yearly initiative by council has seen a decrease in vandalism while supporting local artists and community connections.</div>

The Commute

<div>Painted in two stages: first a small high flyer at the side of the building, which is then noticed to be pulling lettering on the other wall. Inspired by the quote 'Behold, I make all things new' the street artwork promotes hope that people will do what is right and nurture a better Earth.<br>'I love space helmets. In this piece making the space helmet much larger than the earth poses the question 'what is humanity doing to Earth and its environment?' This piece aims to inspire a sense of newness, awe, joy, clarity, and refreshment to viewers.'<br>The words May-King are a not to Newtown's two most celebrated streets, May Lane and King Street, and the word 'New' honours the name of the suburb - Newtown. The artwork is also known as Helmet of Salvation, May (lane) King (567) All (alpha) Things (omega) New (town).<br>Commissioned through <strong>Perfect Match</strong>, matching artists with residents and community.</div>

<div>This artwork was curated by getting to know the business owner and his love for cars. This initial step was one of the key elements towards creating the work.
