I wanted do something related to the island. The face is Jah’s daughter (the organiser). She’s holding a gem which is the gem of life. On the blue layer I’m going to paint everything living, the creatures, like this penguin here. And then I’m going to add a second layer on top which is going to be the skeletons. The gem is giving life; without the gem, there is no life, basically.2. Why do you think it’s important to have art in public places?I think having art in public spaces gives everyone the opportunity to see art without having to go to a museum and pay an entrance fee. You just have it here and you can bump into it by accident – that’s what I like about it. You can just go for a walk and be in a parking lot, and boom – you see this wall.Information from https://creativebop.org.nz/2020/01/street-prints-2020-artist-interviews/Note this incredible piece replaces the equally impressive Charles and Janine Williams mural.
