It was a lovely surprise to recently find some of my artwork featured on this great website
52 suburbs around the world .
This Sydney based photographic artist, Louise Hawson, spent the whole of 2012 with her young daughter documenting different suburbs of the world. Her number 50 suburb was Footscray (where I live). She explored many of the streets of this corner of Melbourne, took some lovely photos, and shows some of the depth of history and culture that makes up Footscray.
For her front page, she photographed a corner of some of my street art. You can find this in the Footscray Mall, (which, incidentally, for lovers of trivia, was Australia's first street mall!). My art work was part of a commissioned street art project in 2012.

It is part of a stencil of a girl doing a handstand on a street wall.
Indeed, I have a small obsession for handstands. I have been doing a handstand everyday coming up for 9 years! I even made a short film about my daily handstand practice in 2011, to celebrate the way handstands bring wellbeing into my life (and to try to find out why I do them!). You can see the film by clicking here
The Point of the Handstand. (It is only 3 mins...)
