Come to Life Collage

“Come to Life” is a mixed media piece which represents the image of Bill Waters, a pioneer in the Mt Baw Baw community, in Australia. As a reference to Bill’s love of the life outdoors, I’ve used materials which themselves bring forth new life. I’ve used chicken egg shells (mostly collected from my father’s chooks) to create the face as the various shades of shell represent skin tone and shades created by light. I was also inspired by the imperfections within the egg shells mimicking the imperfections of the skin. For the hair I’ve used Arborio and Brown Rice (which are both seeds). The theme here is designed to pay respect to the life he brought to the local Scout movement and the 35 years spent impacting young lives. I’ve called the piece “Come to Life” not just to pay homage to Bill’s contribution to the community but also as a call to action for the next generation to follow Bill’s example and bring to life their own community initiatives.
