It’s been a week since the completion of Mathoura’s new mural, and now artist TWOONE is transforming the Moama water tower.

Both projects are part of Murray River Council’s River Country Art Trail, which will also see new murals completed at Barham and Moulamein, and a new sculpture created for Tooleybuc.

Japanese-born artist Hiroyasu Tsuri, who creates under the name TWOONE, is working hard on the second of the five installations.

His design is inspired by the importance of the natural environment to the community.

A range of birds will decorate the tower, including the white-faced heron, or blue crane, crimson rosella, rainbow lorikeet, azure kingfisher, superb fairy wren, Australian magpie and common myna.

TWOONE spoke to a local Yorta Yorta artist when designing the mural and incorporated their stories about birds of the region into his art.

The remaining three projects are expected to begin early next year.

The River Country Art Trail has been proudly funded through the NSW Government’s Regional Tourism Activation Fund, and brought to the community by Murray River Council and creative partner FORM Building a State of Creativity.
