Lascelles

Artist: Rone
Completed in 2017

Renowned Melbourne Street Artist “Rone” painted the images of a local couple
Geoff and Merrilyn Horman on the GrainCorp silos at Lascelles in the WimmeraMallee Victoria.

The town has a population of just 48 people on a good day, but Rone selected
the Hormans above all others. They are a humble couple, who are both wise and
knowing and who have nurtured the town with their vast farming experience and
longstanding connection to the area.

Their family has lived in the area for four generations. Geoff and Merrilyn were
both born in the district and then married later in Lascelles in 1967. Together with
their two sons and now their families also, they have continued the family
tradition of wheat farming and strong community involvement.

In mid 2017 Rone worked for two weeks to transform these two 1939 GrainCorp
silos which now portray Geoff and Merrilyn looking over their hometown forever.

They were the eighth silos to be included in the Australian Silo Art Trail
