In early 2018 I was invited to create a mural at the Gold Coast campus of my former university where I studied a bachelor of visual arts from 2006-2008 majoring in Printmaking and design. These years formed a bridge between my traditional graffiti background and my current approach to art and mural making, it was a particular honour to return to my University have earnt their trust to create this work.
Many thanks to Katie O’rourke who coordinated the installation of the work and Jeremy Austin for documenting the entire project with time lapse and a very clean video edit from start to finish.
