Recycling is Upcycling is What are the things that are lying around in your house that you can recycle or upcycle?

Can you use any of these materials to make ‘art’ or design a building? * Can you spot any installations that are made from trash? *

hayley Welsh British born artist Hayley Welsh has established herself as one of the newest creatives in the Western Australian art scene, having made the move to Australia in 2009. Quoted by Jetstar Magazine as being one of the ‘Top Ten Street Artists You Should Know By Now’ and having exhibited internationally in London and New York, she is renowned for her surreal, wide-eyed characters and whimsical street art, reminding us all to ‘Listen To Your Little Voice’.

There is something quite fantastical and a little bit dark lurking in Hayley’s work. Utilising various surfaces from walls to found objects as her canvas, she reveals curious creatures, so cute they can’t be trusted. With their ominous softness, Hayley explores inner voices of self-doubt and fear, weaving a poignant narrative into every piece - a message for each person to reflect on in the moment.

Hayley’s unique style displays a technical approach, mixed with nostalgia and humour. Surface images that might otherwise seem inviting, have an other-worldly quality that take them places beyond the image in front of us. Their playful mood alludes to a childlike innocence, yet this is juxtaposed with darker undertones of the unknown and the abyss.
