PHOTOGRAPH: SHANE PICKETT BANNER PAINTING STUDIO FOR ROKEBY ROAD 1996

Shane Pickett was commissioned in 1996, by the Council of Subiaco to produce 16 street banners for Aboriginal Reconciliation week in 1997 as a Public Art Project. Some banners were produced in duplicate, to be hung side-by-side along Rokeby Road: Frogs, Kangaroos and Tree Kangaroos (possibly more). From the process of making the banners, captured in images P97.15a-q, it appears that there were nine designs. Three designs have not been sighted, for inclusion in the Museum's art collection: Black Swans, Female figure and blue/mustard Echnidnas. Of the banners that are now accessioned into the Museum's art collection (since 2012), six designs are represented, with Frogs, Kangaroos and Tree Kangaroos having duplicates = nine banners in total.
