Months in the making, Lorikeet Bushy Tree Mandala was one of Emily Crockford’s largest and most ambitious commissions in her professional portfolio, scaling 200sqm in the foyer of Westpac’s Concord’s call and service centre. The work was produced in tandem with integrated design firm Group GSA, who rendered a further 100sqm of glazing graphics (sourced from ten hand-painted patterns supplied by the artist) for the meeting and training rooms of the centre.
The mural itself - the centrepiece of the project - was completed in October 2018, after six full days on site and a fortnight ahead of schedule. This turnaround was a testament to Emily’s work ethic and resolve, “I just do it. I love art and in my dreams I am colouring in and making cool designs” she says.
Thom Roberts presented his first solo exhibition, The Immersive World of Thom Roberts, at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.
