PAM AT THE FOOTSCRAY SILOS
Silo country. This is where Pam goes big: a single bird four storeys tall on poured concrete, rolled at 4am off a scaffold, visible for the whole Footscray Road run. The west is where the bird stopped being a sticker and started being a landmark.
THE PLACE
Concrete grain silos are the western suburbs' cathedrals — disused, enormous, and impossible to paint without commitment. They're the surfaces that made Melbourne's large-format street art famous.
Get a bird this size onto a silo and half the city sees it from the freeway.
