Pavement Appreciation
The religious preach their message on street corners, while the unconvinced make their own sly comments about religion. The most famous piece of graffiti in Australia was the one-word sermon, Eternity, chalked by Arthur Stace on city footpaths for thirty years. It still resonates with Sydneysiders, touching some subliminal emptiness or guilt.
