To embrace the parallels between Loughery’s artwork and the communities she champions, requires understanding the process and key themes that inspire her practice. “My mural work and my studio work are quite different,” she says. “The murals are a work of engagement and inclusion. It is a infrastructure work of art in action, that brings community together through community development, skills development, intergenerational mentorship knowledge exchange and social change. The mural becomes a sense of place, of return and of skills and story exchange, and a tourism legacy.”
The Wayfinder Rural Creates model she consults on globally, has created a legacy of renewed communities, engaged youth and elders, inclusive projects and job creation in creative economy streams.
