A live art project put on by Twine Ideas for Central Park in Perth's CBD. Elly was inspired by the local djiti djiti (Willie wagtails) in the park when she went for a site visit, so she based her bench design on that. Elly wanted to use colour contrasting the space to grab attention, but it didn't seem out of place. She also wanted to stay true to her core black & white style. This piece was time-consuming due to having to paint between the slats of the bench so that the image aligned.
