Artist TWOONE is transforming the Moama water tower, beginning the piece on Friday, December 6.
Part of Murray River Council’s River Country Art Trail, Japanese-born artist Hiroyasu Tsuri, or TWOONE, is working hard on the second of five installations.
His design is inspired by the importance of the natural environment to the community.
A range of birds will decorate the tower, including the white-faced heron, or blue crane, crimson rosella, rainbow lorikeet, azure kingfisher, superb fairy wren, Australian magpie and common myna.
TWOONE spoke to a local Yorta Yorta artist when designing the mural and incorporated their stories about birds of the region into his art.
The piece is set to be finished by Christmas, with the next stops on the trail in Barham, Moulamein and Tooleybuc commencing in early 2025.
The River Country Art Trail has been proudly funded through the NSW Government’s Regional Tourism Activation Fund, and brought to the community by Murray River Council and creative partner FORM Building a State of Creativity.
