The Australian Council for Education Research (ACER) initially approached us with the idea to paint a geometric pattern of sorts on their amazing wall at Camberwell Station in Melbourne’s inner east. For us, this seemed like a missed opportunity to create something that truly spoke to the kind of organisation they are and the community in which they are located. We also felt that because this wall had been subject to vandalism in the past, the inclusion of a graffiti production by some of Melbourne’s most respected artists was essential. We worked with ACER to develop a brief for the artwork that explored education through the life cycle and represented multiple cultural groups as a reflection of our society.
