How 40 metres of walls became one work of art is a tale that has a beginning and an end.
Most stories also have a middle - that is a choose-your-own-adventure in Wendy Sharpe's storyland.
"It's an open-ended narrative," Sharpe says. "It will look like it's a story but it's up to you to make it up, because you will. It's up to you to think of your meaning."
This is also a once-in-time story, Sharpe says. "Everybody has to come and see it, it will never happen again, anywhere ever the same," she says.
Wendy Sharpe: A Dance to the Music of Time, MAC yapang gallery, Booragul, until January 29.
