The face mask has been lifted off Melbourne’s Quarantrees – revealing the mystery artist behind the masked trees. Chapel Street Precinct has secretly commissioned visual artist Carla O’Brien, assisted by her best friend Georgina Damm, to install 120 of their unique artworks to adorn the Precinct’s trees and poles.
“It wasn’t until the second wave of COVID that I approached Carla and Georgina to help put a smile on our community at such a harrowing time. Just a smile can change your day,” said Chrissie Maus, General Manager of Chapel Street Precinct Association (CSPA). “Street art is a reflection of our community and giving our residents and business owners a tiny bit of sunshine was so important to me as we all pull together to fight this invisible enemy.”
