The artist worked for three months on the project and raised awareness of the arts in Joondalup.
The work traverses the wall as a series of hand drawn spheres. Embedded in the colourful composition are a series of circular mandalas. Horatio refers to his mandalas as “sorcery/saucery”. Many of the spheres are the size of a tea saucer, some are dinner plate sized, whilst others could be a launch pad for a flying magician. Like magic, the viewer will be entranced into looking at them and wondering why they are there. Much of his art is based on a pun of words and the joy he gets from his poetry and writing. The spheres vary in intensity as they link together in Horatio’s trademark style.
