Sheep Hills Art Silos
The mural which is spread across six massive grain silos in Sheep Hills was painted by international artist Adnate and is dedicated to Indigenous culture and knowledge.
Adnate worked with the Barengi Gadlin Land Council to create the design. The design features two Wimmera Elders, Ron Marks and Regina Hood, alongside a young boy and a young girl, and it is set in the night sky. It highlights the connection between the young people and their elders and the passing of knowledge from generation to generation.
The young people featured on the silo are Curtly McDonald and Savannah Marks from Horsham. They were nine and two when the mural was painted.
The mural was completed in December 2016.
The silo is part of the Yarriambiack Shire Silo Art Trail which will comprise six locations; Brim, Patchewollock, Sheep Hills, Rupanyup, Lascelles and Roseberry. The silos at Lascelles and Roseberry are yet to be painted.
