A playful piece on the side of The Shoe Factory, Emmalene Blake’s “Sashay Away” is homage to Ru Paul’s Drag Race. Emma is never one to shy away from a cause - using her stencil based art to comment on issues such as sexuality, gender equality and race. While this piece has a lighthearted feel, it was painted at a time when marriage equality had been achieved in the South, but was still a not achieved in the North.
