2026 POSTER PROJECTS

FROM MY PERSPECTIVE

Inspired by the Waylon Jennings (White Lightnin’) album cover and after Every Building on the Sunset Strip by Ed Ruscha, this drawing project started at 6:44pm Tuesday 25 February 2025. Each drawing is 4.7 x 6.3 in (16 x 12cm). Ink pen & gouache on archival museum board (4ply).

‘The Poster Centre’ is an opportunity to share in the history of the renowned ‘Garage Graphix’ print workshop – a grassroots printing movement active in Blacktown from 1981 – 1998.

This project is supported by Create NSW’s Audience Development Fund, a devolved funding program administered by Museums & Galleries of NSW on behalf of the NSW Government.

Another project

Spark A Reaction is a poster collaboration between Bundanon Trust, NSW South Coast community and Wendy Murray. The posters were created during a series of workshops held in Nowra in September 2020. Drawing inspiration from the handmade signs made during the last fire season - when communities messaged one another, the RFS and political leaders in public spaces - these workshops sparked this series of quick response posters. The Nowra poster workshops provided community members an opportunity to reflect upon the fires of 2019/20, their impact and how we might respond in the future. View the online exhibition here »
