Claire Foxton mural

Another mural found in Newcastle, by artist Claire Foxton for the 2022 Big Picture Fest.
It was in a little laneway off Auckland Street, and because it was difficult to photograph, I took a shot from both ends, so decided to put both shots into a collage.

I haven’t been able to find any info on the background story of this mural or the meaning of it. But I liked the colours & the various images depicted, especially the camera & the rollerskate!

A bit of info about the artist - Claire Foxton is a Wollongong-based artist and designer who is most known for her large body of public art found across Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

With a distinctive mix of abstract and realistic techniques, Claire’s painted mural works explore a site specific narrative often concerned with the connectedness of people and place.

Nicely captured- it does look like it was a tight space. I like her eclectic mix of subject matter- who would like of putting a roller skate with a quilt? But somehow it works.
