Chantal WYNTER and Craig COLE - 57 Irving Street

This is the second instalment of my project at 57 Irving Street which is in collaboration with Craig Cole, also a local Footscray artist.

I have continued to use text in each of the four windows. Every individual poster has common statements used by the various characters throughout Footscray.

We are all familiar with the recognizable faces in Footscray such as Nick, the Olympic Doughnut man, Kevin at the coffee shop, Franco Cozzo, the gang at Footscray’s Best and so on. We are exploring the infamous characters that can be seen and heard daily around Footscray. We have approached this through a comic book theme, which embodies these daily remarks and observations.

These posters are designed to encourage the passer by question the greater community known as Footscray.
