An indigenous inspired mural inspired by the water from Brownhill Creek and the natural surrounds.
Hawthorn Community Centre Mural
Artists: Elizabeth Close and Jake Holmes
Project cost: $12,000
Location: Hawthorn Community Centre, 5 Frimley Grove, Hawthorn
Installed: 2018
Artists Elizabeth Close and Jake Holmes painted an indigenous inspired mural on the Hawthorn Community Centre in December 2018. The water from Brownhill Creek and the natural surrounds were used as inspiration for the art piece.
Hawthorn Community Centre nestles alongside Brownhill Creek which has extensive cultural heritage and is surrounded by the Soldier's Memorial Gardens.
"This project was so organic in that Jake and I designed as we moved around the building, responding to the environment and the walls. The result, we think, lifts the entire space, and we have had so many comments from City of Mitcham residents as they’ve walked past." Elizabeth Close, Aboriginal Artist.
