Wilton Silos
The water tanks at the Veolia Treatment Plant in Wilton were painted by long time friends and renowned street artists Joe Quilter and Snarl. Each of the three tanks tells a story that connects deeply with the region’s agricultural roots, Indigenous heritage, and natural beauty. The first tank pays tribute to the local dairy farming community, portraying a farmer as a symbol of resilience, hard work, and the enduring spirit of rural life. The second honors the Tharawal people, the traditional custodians of the land, featuring their totem, the Lyre Bird, alongside the eucalyptus flower. The third, inspired by the photography of Angela Towndrow, showcases the Wollondilly raptor and the white Waratah, the Shire’s official floral emblem. Together, these large-scale artworks stand as a vibrant gateway to Wollondilly.
Address: 70A Condell Park Road, Wilton NSW

About The Artist: Snarl
SNARL began writing in 1995 and quickly found his place within the dynamic chaos of Sydney’s graffiti scene. Initially focused on letter-based work, his style evolved through large-scale productions that demanded both technical precision and creative innovation. Over the years, SNARL has developed a distinctive aesthetic marked by bold, interlocking semi-wild mechanised 3D lettering, featuring angular embellishments, aerodynamic fins, and hyper-extended forms. Influenced by the evolution of spray paint technology and his own hands-on experimentation, SNARL’s work bridges traditional graffiti and contemporary street art, showcasing an unmistakable energy and complexity that reflects decades of dedication to the craft.
