Katherine Masiulanis
Paint Me Out
Based in Maroondah, Katherine Masiulanis is an accomplished artist with a background in landscape architecture. In preparation for this project, she employed charcoal and watercolour: materials that are not usually found on exterior public art surfaces. Drawing on the shared experience of living through COVID, the artist describes how “this work expresses our desire to embrace the outside world, and also how nature and creativity can provide an interior freedom.” Here the signal box reads as a small weatherboard house in the style of many dwellings in Maroondah. Depicting characters occupied with different activities around the house, it is an engaging story for pedestrians.
