The City's Streetware program is transforming Sydney's laneways.
A laneway lined with Babushka dolls looks onto an urban angel, plastic people appearing and disappearing and comic gangsters make up the work by some of Sydney's most talented street artist's in Streetware.
"Artists have temporarily transformed blank building walls into creative canvases alive with images to catch the attention and imagination of those who normally walk straight past these same laneways without a second glance," said Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP.
"It's a fantastic opportunity for emerging artists and designers to present their ideas in public, while also building on the City's mission to revitalise our laneways as unique and creative urban spaces."
- The Mission on Paper by Emma Davidson: Exploring the portal-like potential of popular culture and everyday life, Emma will mission to the moon with text and images from 1960s and 1970s children's books creating a colourful collage along Nithsdale Lane off Alberta Street.
- Angel on Our City by Steve Gorrow: An urban angel pasted onto the side of an old pub transforms a blank wall on Dungate Lane into a new creative space.
- Babushka Dolls by Kat Smolynec: Photographs off felt-covered Babushka dolls taken in unique places in and around Sydney are reproduced and pasted along Dungate Lane.
- Crims & Crooks by Jumbo + Zap: Sands Street is filled with wallpaper of giant comic gangster characters referencing the Razor Gang era and 1920s Sydney identities such as Tilly Devine.
- Plastic People by Grrl + Dog: Makeshift life-size people created from recycled plastic and paper shopping bags pose in laneways spreading the word about sustainability.
