Artist Tom Civil collaborated with members of the Chelsea Community Panel to develop this mural, drawing on the strong coastal and beach themes cherished by the local community. The work depicts native plants, shells, seeds, starfish, grasses, seaweed and other natural elements found along Chelsea’s beaches, including the distinctive conical sand snail egg sack. A strand of fluorescent fishing line is woven into the design, symbolising the importance of keeping our waterways clean and safe.
As part of Council’s long-term planning for Chelsea, community feedback highlighted the desire for a new mural in The Strand to help enliven the streetscape.
Tom Civil is Melbourne based artist, muralist, community art facilitator and print-maker and has been practicing for over 17 years.
