A depiction of the final mural.
The proposed winning Mural, by Rachael Dewhirst.
The team from CPIT Trade Industry Training Painters have started painting the mural.
SCAPE Public Art installs large scale, free-to-view contemporary public art at sites in central Christchurch, New Zealand.
Rachael Dewhirst - a fourth year student of Fine Arts at Canterbury University - has won the inaugural Resene Art in the Streets SCAPE Christchurch Murals project. Her winning design is a vibrant scheme which was inspired by her post-earthquake observations of parts of buildings, including their interiors, which were not exposed previously.
Her design is currently being installed as a vast 33m x 5m mural on the wall of Christchurch’s Design & Arts College and spectators are encouraged to come and watch the progression.
