You've walked past them many times. You're a bogan from the deep suburbs (just like me) and you think - what the f#ck is that? Dont worry its normal - its called 'public' art whether the public like it or not....

It can be a wall mural, a sculpture, a bent steel beam, a poetic passage for those who wish to read or anything else which falls into the realm of 'public' art. You may not like and you may say to yourself - what!~ i could do that. Maybe you could.

Ive just noticed Wikipedia has a page for 'public art in Perth' found here. Artwork such as Shimmer from Jurek Wybraniec and Stephen Neille in East Perth where i park my van and shoot hoops, Jon Tarry's work at the new Stadium and the wonderful C Y O'Connor work from Tony Jones.

You see, ive gotten to know many artists in my time in Perth and i admire all of their contribution. Take a wander through the list and make a day trip of it - you may just realise public art is actually for the public.... that includes bogans like me and you.
