1. Spatial deconstruction #25 (perceptual vortex) Emma Coulter, 2021

Located on the north-facing Warehouse wall at Footscray Community Arts, Emma Coulter’s Spatial deconstruction #25 (perceptual vortex) creates a ‘window’ into the space for the community. Commissioned as a result to her winning street art submission to Footscray Art Prize 2021, Emma’s striking arrangement of colour on the building’s facade breathes new life into the creative precinct.

3. Marks I Brook Andrew, 2012

Created by renowned Wiradjuri artist Brook Andrew, alongside the local community, Marks I is one of the most Instagrammed works in the Footscray Community Arts precinct. Sitting at 40m long and 6m tall, this piece represents the patterns carved into traditional Wiradjuri shields. According to Brook, the mural ‘is a reminder of our strong links to  culture and how we can develop ways for our cultures to live in a contemporary society and still have strong meaning’. Find it at the Footscray Community Arts Warehouse building.
