Restoration of beloved community artwork in Nambucca Heads

ICONIC local artwork ‘Fish and Chips’ by artist Guy Crosley has been treated to some tender loving care in the past few weeks.

Supported by Nambucca Valley Council, Guy has been busy cleaning and restoring the work which was originally completed in the year 2000 and has become a beloved part of the landscape of Bowra Street, Nambucca Heads.

“A true community project, pieces gathered by community members and made by local artists were woven into a beautiful tapestry that depicts a symbolic geographical map of the area which follows the river, stretching from the great divide through the rural townships and farmlands to meet the sea,” Council said in a statement.

“Spanning around 30 metres the work features many treasures including dolphins, fish, octopus and parrots along with several other whimsical delights hidden and waiting to be discovered.”

Weather pending, the restoration work should be completed in the next few weeks.
