Junky Projects

They lurk on posts, on fences and on walls.  Waiting patiently to catch the eyes of passers-by… they are Junky Projects and they have an important message to share.    

For several years now, an enterprising young architect has been on a street art crusade in South-Eastern Australia.   He strategically installs sentinels created out of junk to help remind people that if they continue to generate so much waste in their lives, it may one day come back to haunt them.

These engaging critters never fail to bring a smile to the faces of those who spot them.    In several areas, a conversation has begun as other creations emerge to join the Junky Projects in their streetside vigil.  This reciprocal bloom has been particularly gratifying for the artist - 

“…of course that is exciting for me, the dialogue which takes place between street artists is one of the factors that has made it the strongest, most influential and innovative art movement of our time.”
