Corner Ian Street and Mons Parade, Noble Park
'Roots' celebrates a localised native Australian flora and fauna narrative inspired by the resilience and spirit of the local community.
'Roots' is located at the prominent corner of Ian Street and Mons Parade in Noble Park.
Council commissioned Melbourne artist Hayden Dewar to complete the mural to announce the entrance of Ian Street as a key shopping destination.
After learning about Noble Park’s “Tree under which the community grew” and the changing population that has settled in the much-loved area, Hayden was inspired to reflect the strength and spirit of the community through the sprawling strong roots of a mighty river red gum tree.
The installation consists of a large tree trunk with exposed roots in Hayden’s signature style that incorporates surreal, mythological imagery as well as native Australian flora and fauna associated with river red gums.
