The original art in the Brickworks was graffiti. Before the 'ever greening' of the area, graffiti artists and photographers were frequent visitors. There was much discussion on whether the graffiti should remain. The resolution seems sublime. This image is a combination of graffiti and an art installation - portraits of workers from the factory in graffiti style. When you look at the intensity of the graffiti images below the portrait, it is easy to see what makes them compelling in the space.
