Wall Commission - Collingwood

This was a job organised under the banner of PinXit, who knew a friend of their publicist was keen to have some interior work done in his apartment.

I had met Ghostpatrol and Miso briefly at last year's Stencil Festival, but hadn't worked with them before. This job came along at a pretty good time, and GP and I both put our hands up for it, with Miso coming on board a bit later.

This was a really open brief, which we all appreciated. It was really nice to not have something too prescriptive. The only stipulation was that it needed to involve some sort of metamorphosis or progression, which wasn't too hard to incorporate.

The design

This whole project involved a lot of meetings, drafts and planning, and way too much mapping and measuring for my liking, but the end result is very satisfying, and something that I think really suits the owner's aesthetic sensibilities.

Wall 1 was 5.25 x 3m, Wall 2 was 6 x 3m, there is meant to be a flow between each wall when you look at them from a particular angle.

Cheers to Dave and Thom @ Envo Photography for the pics: www.envophotography.com.au
