Eye of the Beholder


One man's dreaming is another man's religion. The graffiti on the Mary Street wall is an interpretation of one of our indigenous 'dreaming' stories. Mostly these stories tell of man's relationship to the land and to the sky.

Behind the sandstone fence, is St Stephen's in Newtown which is a manifestation of the holy trinity on earth. The stories told within are of man's relationship with a god, in life and in death.


Note that this is the same intersection as yesterday, just from a different perspective. I am not sure what to make of the obvious fact that the animals are all going the wrong way. Or maybe the arrow is going the wrong way. Let's just call it 'creative dissonance'.
