Remember when we mentioned those huge birds painted on the side of Central Library? Well artist Lucy McLauchlan has been busy yet again, out in the cold with a group of volunteers jazzing up another part of the city, this time in Moseley.
Together with EC-Arts and a little help from the Irish Welfare Information Centre & Birmingham Irish Community Forum, ‘Come Together’ is a temporary artistic intervention utilising the hoardings on Moseley Road.
The project is a result of both EC-Arts objectives to utilise redevelopments within transitional periods, and artist Lucy McLauchlan’s ongoing desire to create a positive impact with her work in the public realm.
Lucy has created ‘Come together’ a theme inspired by the Digbeth community. Her infamous bird murals depict ‘community’ to counterbalance the wasteland the site envelops.
i saw these on my bus into work, wondered what they were about.
