6766. Warminster Road

I went on a mini exploration in the St Werburghs area a couple of weeks back and found this unsigned mural near the back entrance of a primary school. I have no idea who the artist is, but have to wonder whether it is by a parent or teacher from the school.

The mural features mirror image female portrait pieces, each wearing a wolf’s head as if they were some kind of pagan costumes. The portraits are black and white and the headdresses subtlety colourful. I wonder if there is some meaning or symbolism in the piece, which looks like it might have been around for some while. If you don’t look for things, you are unlikely to find them. I am glad I had my eyes open when I went on this particular exploration.
