Reach for the Stars

Approx.: 2m (w) x 1.5 m (h)

Reach for the Stars is an aerosol mural created on the concrete skate dome by Fausto Gallego. It was originally painted in 2016 and restored in 2023 by the artist. As a longtime user of the skate park, Fausto says, ‘The Knox cradle is one of the biggest domes in eastern Melbourne so it’s pretty iconic.’ The renewed mural depicts a monster pushing skaters to their limits and includes ‘sticker designs’ contributed by other skate users, created in a face-to-face workshop at the park.
