Headspace Mural Project
Spreading a Positive Mindset Through Art
An interactive mural created with Headspace Albury-Wodonga and the Albury-Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service
The concept for this mural grew from ideas, values and imagery shared by young people at Wodonga Headspace and the team at the Albury-Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service. Working from their collective input, I developed a series of loose concept sketches that brought together the different themes and visual ideas they wanted represented. With a few collaborative adjustments, we shaped the design into an artwork that reflected the values of the space and the people connected to it.
Rather than creating a design independently and simply painting it onto the wall, the aim was to give everyone involved a meaningful role in bringing the mural to life. The final artwork became a shared expression of the ideas and experiences that helped shape the project, carrying significance beyond its visual appearance. Through this collaborative process, the mural became a way to build connection, encourage a sense of ownership and create a positive feature within a space that supports young people and the wider community.
Community Mental Health Mural
This project was particularly meaningful to me because my own creative practice has been shaped by the pursuit of mental wellbeing. When I was younger, I also visited Headspace while working through some difficult periods in my life. To return years later as an artist, contributing something positive to a space that had once been part of my own journey, brought that experience full circle in a way I never expected.
Art has given me a way to work through challenges, connect with other people and turn personal experiences into something constructive. Being able to share that through a collaborative mural, while helping create an artwork that reflects the voices and values of its community, made this project especially important to me. It was a reminder that public art can be more than decoration. When people have a hand in creating it, an artwork can represent shared experiences, encourage connection and help a space feel more welcoming to the people who use it.
