“Oxford Street is known for its restaurants, shops and nightlife,” says Sydney artist Jane Becker. “For this mural, I wanted to give a different perspective of the street, to invite people to think about the animals who live on, above and under it.”
This photo essay explores how Jane turned a blank white hoarding into an unforgettable ménagerie of critters. The slug’s so cute, you may even want to reach out and touch it.
Jane’s mural is part of “Uncovering Oxford Street”, a show in the City of Sydney’s festival “Art & About” which runs through October 25.
