“Thanks to our artists, we pretend well, living under canopies of painted clouds and painted gods, in halls of marble floors across which the sung Masses paint hope in deep impatsi of echo. We make of the hollow world a fuller, messier, prettier place, but all our inventions can’t create the one thing we require: to deserve any fond attention we might accidentally receive, to receive any fond attention we don’t in the course of things deserve. We are never enough to ourselves because we can never be enough to another. Any one of us walks into any room and reminds its occupant that we are not the one they most want to see. We are never the one. We are never enough.”
― Gregory Maguire, Mirror Mirror
I photographed this piece in Fitzroy this past Christmas. It was done by two talented Melbourne street artists, Rone and Wonderlust. We used another one of Rone’s beautiful women on the cover of our first book, and I made a point of searching out his work in Melbourne.
