Hidden Histories Trilogy

Tom Pendergast, Gareth Colliton, Jenny Altmann, Gayle Hill Clark, Alex Rees

The three murals were completed between January and April 2014 as part of the Hidden Histories Laneway Festival to brighten up the city’s laneways.

They are situated side by side in Ozone Walk, which links Koroit St to the Ozone car park.

Gareth’s mural depicting Selkies playing in front of the Triton Crane, as it builds the Warrnambool breakwater and Tom’s purple creation (both based on Irish Mythology, an important part of the cultural heritage of the region) were part of the inaugural festival event in January while Jenny, Gayle and Alex teamed up in April to create an artwork representing iconic local sites including Lake Pertobe and Lady Bay.

The Hidden Histories Laneway Festival was made possible by the State Government, the Warrnambool City Council and the F Project.
