This design suggests a reference to the former gasworks in Maitland, which now houses the Reading Cinema. It is an abstracted version of pipes and machines with a touch of art deco. Although some people see a racetrack or a printed circuit board in it. Or even Aztec characters.
The color scheme has been chosen taking into account the colors of the buildings in this street, especially the building on the corner with the green art deco elements.
It is done with a paint called Streetbond, especially suitable for asphalt. And the size is 4 x 40 meters. The pure physical painting (apart from designing) took us 14 full days with 2 people.

After finishing Lee St. we also painted a few smaller pieces on 4 corners of High St. We used the same pattern and colors. And the floor of a new parklet placed along High St.
