New works in Fitzroy….
After a lot of travelling this year, it’s good to be home, and to be here to stay for a while (except for a weekend in Canberra that’s coming up, about which more later).
And it’s wonderful to be back in Fitzroy, where a lot of activity has been taking place on the streets.
Here are some of the things I’ve seen since returning:

There’s an interesting installation piece on Smith Street, involving boxes attached to poles, with text on mirrored surfaces:
As you can see, this one reads ‘thief’; there are others which read ‘liar’ and ‘loser’. Nice stuff. Since first posting about this, Vetti (of Live in Northcote) contacted me to let me know this installation is by Nick Ilton, and Nick himself has sent me a link to a little video which provides a nice summary of the guerilla sculptures he has been placing around Melbourne in recent weeks. Check it out here.
I’ve seen a lot of fresh paste-ups, such as these, outside the Sutton Gallery on Brunswick Street:
You can find these near Alimentari, where there’s been a lot of activity:
And this is pretty striking:
It’s nice to be home.

“thief” is by Nick Ilton – he put up a series of works over the Fringe Festival, and had a show at Off The Kerb.
Oh thanks for that! It was great to come across this installation. I hope his show went well.
It did! Nick sold a lot of pieces, and was really happy with the level of interest he got. Check out the whole series at http://subtherapy.wordpress.com/
Great stuff….
