Kristen's cup

'School teaches us many important things that’ll help us in the future, but it also teaches us many things we probably won’t need. Like does everyone need to know how to find x? And why do I have to stress about finding it even though I don’t care.'

It is Erica's cup, Thankyou Erica!

and it says: 

'Education doesn't always discriminate - its helps everyone - friend or foe"

placement 3 - defiance, feminism, empathy

Here we are with the cup based on a photograph of Footscray graffiti, that Mari sent me. It spoke to her of learning and education.

here is the original photograph, courtesy of Mari:

So I wandered around Footscray till I found the place . . . . . 

finding gorgeous lights . . . 

bulldogs everywhere . . . 

a great mural!

and then finally the right place!

 and then photographed the cup in that place . .  

then I left it there!

goodbye little cup!

farewell!
