GrainCorp Silos at Sheep Hills: When the sky is grey and hot . . .
This image is included in 2 galleries:- 1) "Color" curated by Oswaldo Ordóñez and 2) "Silo / Water Tower / Tank, Art / Mural - Australia" by Glass Angel.
This image was taken on a very hot, overcast Autumn afternoon, using my Samsung S24 Ultral mobile phone: it was the hugeness of the silos in a bleak landscapes that impressed me. I'm very pleased that this image made Explore and be able to reach a wider Flickr audience.
Artist: Adnate
Location: 445 Sheep Hills-Minyip Road, Sheep Hills, Victoria
The GrainCorp Silos at Sheep Hills were painted by Adnate in late 2016.
When you see the Sheep Hills Silos for the first time you are absolutely blown away by the colours an the sheer splendour of this silo. The astonishing details in the eyes of the subjects will turn you into a story teller as you recount what you have been to anyone who will listen!
This mural is of a Wergaia Elder named Uncle Ron Marks, along with a Wotobaluk Elder, Aunty Regina Hood. They stand on either side on two young children Savanah Marks and Curtly McDonald.
Adnate wanted to shine the spotlight on the area's young Indigenous people, but also show their strong ancentral connection they share with their elders.
Adnate has spent much of his career telling the stories on Indigenous people and their native lands by painting wonderful murals of the them throughout Australia. (SILO & WATER TOWER ART: VICTORIAN REGIONAL GUIDE, ED1-2024)
The GrainCorp Silos at Sheep Hills are the 5th silos included in the Australian Silo art trail and the 3rd in the Wimmera-Mallee region of Victoria.
