Art on walls

We spend the first years of our life learning all the rules and getting in trouble for breaking them. Then for the rest of those, we slowly learn that breaking the rules is ok, and sometimes, rewarded. I don’t know about your household, but in mine, drawing on the walls was punishable by the longest periods of naughty corner confinement. But at the New Acton complex in Canberra, the owners not only permitted, but encouraged artists (and other randoms) to adorn its many prominent faces with larger than life illustrations, during its Art Not Apart event in March. The artwork looks so amazing that I had to return and use them as backdrops for one of my outfit shoots. Dressed in black and greys against these walls, I rather felt like a drawing of a girl rather than a real one.
