A wall. Who says you don't draw every brick?

Making a wall. It's a Caravaggio rip off. He's was an awesome contributer to humanity - very similar to Shakespeare to us... It's a billboard actually. And a wall in the sense of keeping things out.. We had a fabulous friend Shane Norton (google 'Elvis and Rose') who knows bricks like no other. And we also had fun with making structural steel windows here too... This was actually a bit of a feat because these elements held themselves up, and bricks and kept the water out (part of what a window must do) and were acoustic barriers (because we were next to a rail shunting yard and heavy traffic) and heat constant (it was south facing...).. We chose bricks that played with the light in more a subtle way (the outside was shades of dark).. the bricks were glazed (from Euroa Clay) a popular brick a while back and good for being graffiti proof. We sort of did our own graffiti I suppose..  Here is a sort of graphic commentary of the making of this wall for you.
