Tuesday Streetart: Hello Possums! – 115

Dame Edna Everage is a fictional character, a flamboyant Australian housewife created and performed by the late comedian Barry Humphries. – Google

Dame Edna Place is a tiny laneway in Melbourne named after Barry Humphries’ iconic character Dame Edna Everage.

Dame Edna is instantly recognisable for her lilac-coloured hair, dramatic cat-eye glasses, love of gladioli, and her cheerful greeting, “Hello, Possums!”

This is a work by Matt Adnate. And like much of Adnate’s work, the mural feels personal and human. This single face can say more than an entire wall of colour.
