Description

Unique IDA-01209919SeriesWoolloomooloo Mural Project Records, 1979-1984DateBetween 1st January 1984 and 31st December 1984Date qualifieryear onlyFormatPhotograph - TransparencyDescriptionView of a mural designed and painted by Tim Maguire in black and white. It features imagery of a broken vase with flower decoration in the foreground, casting shadows against a dot print photographic image (similar to newspaper) of a woman with a wedding ring kissing a person on their nose.

Transposed in perspective rendering, it was painted on Zincalume sheet and attached to one of the concrete pylons of the railway overpass in the area between Sir John Young Crescent and Judge Street in Woolloomooloo.

The first set of renewable billboards were painted onto heavy litho paper with Collies offset inks which were then glued to the metal panels. (The idea was that these could be pasted over with new images on billboard paper every twelve months. Later the artists realised how costly and labour intensive the replacement would be, and how short-lived the adhesive durability of paper glued on expanding and contracting metal). As a consequence the first series of ink on paper billboards were removed in 1984, and a new set of six murals painted with enamel on metal were commissioned in 1984. Shock Proof Domestic mural was part of this group.
