The brief was "White Gum Valley"; this client wanted to brighten their corner wall with something aesthetically local. They wanted a splash of colour while staying true to Elly's black-and-white style. These clients wanted the corner utilised while remaining tight on their budget, so the block colouring was designed to make the space between the images less empty. The red-tailed cockatoos frequent this area, and the white gum eucalypt is how the suburb got its name.
