STREET ART
Documentary Project
Working alongside the talented Creswick Collective, Craig spent several months capturing the creation of a large scale mural blanketing The Street CBR. Created by internationally renowned stencil artist Luke Cornish (E.L.K) the project came out of the Covid Lockdown and the isolation of an empty theatre amidst an empty precinct.
