Nganda mayimbayi? (who did that?)

Collection of Works

Digital print on paper, chalk, acrylic paint, gesso, masking fluid, charcoal, lead pencil, coloured pencil, watercolour, found organic materials, ceramics

Nganda mayimbayi? explores the Australian natural environment and its importance to both indigenous and western Australian cultures through an in-depth study of the Bulgandry Art Site Aboriginal Place and surrounding bushland. This collection of works includes found organic materials from the site. I chose to study the Bulgandry carving site as it is charged with cultural significance for the Darkinjung people. I included references to Australian literature to connect the Australian cultural narrative to the landscape, ever-present for the people who call her home.

ARTEXPRESS was a joint partnership between The New South Wales Department of Education and NSW Education Standards Authority in association with Hazelhurst Arts Centre.

The orange brush strokes appear dynamic and free-flowing, with splatters and tapered ends.Simplified waratah flower in deep red colour with the words NSW Government in dark blue stacked underneath.
