DESCRIPTION
TitleA Laughing Matter
Date2021Description'A Laughing Matter' depicts street lights, native plants and bird species crowding at the tree line.
Acacia blooms, waratahs and gum trees frame two kookaburras laughing centre stage, working together to drive off interlopers.
The second kookaburra is a pale cream colour, referencing a unique Illawarra resident, the white kookaburra. Often mistaken for having albinism, these kookaburras have a rare genetic mutation called leucism and are beloved by residents lucky enough to spot them.
Rainbow stems dissect the mural, rising through a cloud-speckled sky and reflecting David Cragg's signature rainbow trees in his parallel mural 'Midnight Showdown.'ArtistKarla HayesGeolocation[1] AddressPrinces Highway, in the laneway next to the Albion Park Rail Medical Centre, Albion Park Rail, 2527External LinkMural Art Trail
