It’s not everyday you see your ideas made into a large scale public artwork, but that’s exactly what’s happening at Morisset PCYC. Local girl Lillian Webb, 16, dropped into Morisset’s newly opened Art Experiment, a temporary cultural space next to Woolies, and showed resident artist Margrete Erling some of her sketches. Margrete was so blown away by the images that she asked Lillian if she could use them in a PCYC community art project.
The drawings are executed in the uber hip Japanese Manga style, a style which originates in hard core comic book action, with a dose of High School The Musical thrown in for good measure. They'll be used as the design for a mosaic mural to be installed at Morisset PCYC. Lillian has drawn a boy and a girl, so we’re going to use the funky girl outside the PCYC ladies toilet and the cute guy outside the gents. Going to the loo will never be so much fun!
Margrete is already hard at work preparing the mosaic mural for Friday’s Morisset PCYC opening (3-6pm on Friday 21st October: not to be missed!) and you’ll have your chance to add your pieces to the design on the day. Come along and help bring Lillian’s design to life. You don’t need any experience with mosaics or murals, or any particular skills, as Margrete will be on hand to help out.
