PUBLIC | Art in the Wheatbelt

This year PUBLIC 2015 pressed north of the city to the open landscapes of the Wheatbelt, launching with a series of murals splashed across 36 metre grain silos and the walls of downtown Northam. London artist Phlegm, Atlanta native HENSE gathered their paint tins, aerosols, rollers and brushes and struck out for a two week residency at the heritage town on the banks of the Avon River.

Across eight huge storage towers of the state’s grain handler, CBH, Phlegm rendered his whimsical characters in their fantastic transportation devices while perched on the extended arm of a boom lift and using brushes strapped to a long pole. HENSE, adjacent, lobbed his explosive patterns across the silos in blocks of bright colour, eye catching even from the highway bisecting the wheat fields to town.
