Geelong’s waterfront bollards and some public art.

Nice works from Jan Mitchell (1940ā€“2008). You can see her works all over Geelong`s waterfront among another public arts.Well known for her bollards, she also worked as television graphic artist.

“Jan used to get angry when people said Geelong was an industrial town with no culture and the history of Geelong very much captured through Jan was one which was in fact sophisticated in arts, or innovation, or through its public gardens.” [source]
Mitchell’s sons said a service celebrating her life would be at Lyndon Grove, Grovedale, on March 26.

From my memories, the painted bollards, the “high tech” Waterfront Plaza skate park and the untouched by graffiti public art is what I will never forget.
