'FARESHARE' - Abbotsford, AUS

(See video & photos below)

In 2013 I was commissioned by FareShare to paint the entire exterior of their HQ, Charity Kitchen / Warehouse in Abbotsford, VIC. This project was the largest solo mural I had produced at that time and preceded my move to temporarily live abroad in the USA.

Then in 2019 when I returned from the US I was again contacted by FareShare to revise and renew the mural after significant renovations on the building had taken place. This new mural more accurately portrayed FareShares practices, vision and brand identity. The artwork features photographic references taken at Fareshare’s own urban farms and volunteer powered kitchens.

In 2024 further renovations and addition of the adjacent warehouse took place and I was again commissioned to extend the exterior mural even further with the inclusion of an interior warehouse feature wall which embodies FareShares commitment to healthy accessible and locally sourced foods. Thus resulting in the final twin building wrap that you can see below.

I would also like to thank Phibs, Dvate & Ling for their aerosol work in the side alley and Resene Paints for their ongoing support. Thanks to Yoshi Travel for the video documentation and production.
