Footscray Market, Footscray
Footscray Market has been a focal point of the Footscray community since the 1950s, and is a place you’ll be able to get just about anything to cater to it’s large and diverse multicultural community. I remember visiting the market on bustling Saturday mornings, noise and aromas filling the air, intrigued by things for sale I’d never seen before.
I have many childhood memories of the yellow and red ‘FM’ logo at the Footscray Market, it’s an image anyone who grew up in the Western Suburbs would recognise.
It was vital to include Footscray Market in West in Show, where I wanted to reflect the diversity in the community, as it never fails to attract the more colourful members of Footscray. I spent a number of days meandering around the market for inspiration, so the characters in this piece would be ‘uniquely Footscray’. I also wanted to somehow include Forges of Footscray into the piece, so included a woman carrying an old Forges tote bag that my mum still uses today.
