MIC PORTER’s FIGURATIVE STORY OF BODY AND LIFE

“The mural seeks to engender a sense of belonging through the individual's struggle within themselves and the environment they live in. The mural is framed by hands and feet at either end. From there the mind and body erupts in a frenzied transcendental expansion of our search for meaning within ourselves and our community. This community comes with its demons for those who are particularly exposed - the changing cycles of the weather, the physical and metaphorical animals that both predate and protect, as well as the psychic dysphorias that plague our sense of self. St Kilda is a place in which all types of people inhabit and search for themselves and their connectedness within the world. The vagabonds, the child within, the dogged chasers of the finer things as well as those striving for enlightenment in whatever form they can find are represented. A cyclical twist places them within the confines of the elements which can batter or bolster.”
