Regent Honeyeater

Description

In November 2017, Rowena Martinich and Geoffrey Carran were commissioned by the Niddrie Traders Association to create a large landmark mural at the gateway to the Niddrie shopping precinct.

The scale of this wall gave Rowena the opportunity to explore dynamic and bold mark-making and colour-fields with rollers and scissor lift. In planning the composition, consideration was given to the visibility of this mural, which can be viewed from a kilometre up the road, or closer from the main tram-stop, carpark or local library.

Geoffrey Carran took a conservation stance in painting a regent honeyeater. This critically endangered species would once have inhabited the area to feed on yellow box forest. The striking regent honeyeater perches proudly as it surveys the community.

Hi, my name is Neda. What started off as exploring the street art during lunch time, has over time turned into an obsession. ‘Going for a drive’ or ‘a bit of a walk’ would take me to parts of this beautiful country that I would otherwise never see. Street art hunting has become my fitness regime and the lens through which I explore the world. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a thriving street art scene and a group of dedicated hunters in this city. Let us show you around?
