Avoca - Silo Art
Artist Jimmi Buscombe is painting two murals, one depicting the endangered Barking Owl already completed) and the other the threatened Brush Tailed Phascogale (yet to be completed, waiting on access issues to be resolved), both animals which are native to the local Pyrenees Ranges.
There is a star-burst sky behind the animals which will not be seen during the day. The stars are painted using special glow in the dark strontium paint. Visitors in the evening can then press a button that will flood the murals with light, charging the glow paint and leaving the sky, the owls eyes and the Pyrenees Ranges glowing in the dark for some time afterward.
The front surface of the silo will be used as a projection screen for movies, film festivals and video art, with the land in front of the silo landscaped for people to visit with chairs, picnic rugs and bean bags for these events.
