The white walls of the Hakeke Community Centre and Library have been transformed this week, thanks to local artist Si Ormerod, aka Cracked Ink.
Ormerod began the project on Monday morning and, despite some inclement weather, he said it should be finished today. The work is just my twist on home, nature and community, really, Ormerod said. Because it s kind of an obscure shape, I really wanted to play with it.

Hakeke Street Community Centre and Library is putting on some paint.
Centre co-ordinator, Lorraine Sheenagh, says the work to be done is a mural, designed and executed by Si Ormerod, who paints under the name Cracked Ink. It s going to look so amazing, says Lorraine. We got ideas from the community: people who use the Community Centre as well as our volunteers, the kids next door, the kids across the road at the YMCA / Pakohe [Alternative Education Programme]. They all came up with ideas about what community looks like.
