Jones Family

Artist: Donald Cook

Asset Type: Mural

Year of Work: 2020

Location: Cnr Steere Street N & Forrest St

Provenance: Shire of Collie

Description: “Jones Family tells the story of David Jones and his young family – amongst the first group of colonial families sent to Collie, tasked with establishing the coal mining industry in town. The region would go on to produce power for over 123 years, playing a key part in making Western Australia what it is today.

In this mural, Mr Jones is placed into Ted Green’s Barber Shop, which previously stood where the Jones Arcade is today. There are small, detailed objects placed around the Barber Shop for the viewer to find, telling a personal story of Collie’s locals and of industries that Collie is transitioning into as the days of coal come to an end.

I strongly recommend a trip to the Coalfields Museum and Research History. You will be surprised by Collie’s colourful history!” Donald Cook

Ground

Artist: Audrey Frenandes-Satar, Arif Satar

Asset Type: Mural

Year of Work: 2020

Location: Lot 5 Medic Street (Flooring Xtra side wall)

Provenance: Shire of Collie

Description: Ground is a panoptic drawing of the hills draped with patterns inspired by banksia seed pods, calling attention to the fragility of Collie’s ancient landscape where the river flows gently. Here, the richness of black coal emerges to balance the built environment, reminding us of the preciousness of the land and our interaction with it.

Conceptually, Ground is an act of drawing where moments in history are touched upon in gestures of ideation, such as historical buildings, housing for immigrants layered with threads of embroidery that made this place home. But most importantly, it is the soft hills of Collie that take centre stage, laboriously covered in patterns to remind us to look at the ground we walk on.

You Are Home

Artist: Andrew Frazer

Asset Type: Mural

Year of Work: 2020

Location: 85 Steere S N (back wall)

Provenance: Shire of Collie

Description: “As I travelled up the infamous hill from Bunbury to Collie in the early mornings I was continuously captivated by the landscape's beauty and majesty. The way the light would dart through the tree canopies dancing over the land, casting shadows over the winding road and carving out abstracted forms that ignited my imagination.

The warm yellows contrasted with the cooler shaded tones would fill me with anticipation for the day. It was the beginning of a new day and I wanted to capture this moment; to share this story and to offer it in a public space for viewers to pause, reflect and be refreshed.” Andrew Frazer

Untitled by Kyle Hughes-Odgers

Artist: Kyle Hughes-Odgers

Asset Type: Integrated Work

Year of Work: 2020

Location: 26-28a Charles Street

Provenance: City of South Perth

Description: These artworks explore the core conceptual themes and narrative around ideas of connection, through people and place. Pattern, shapes and form inspired by mapping and path making. The forms represent destinations. The natural environment and built environment interacting and converging. These destinations, some of which are isolated and others densely configured, can be interpreted as physical or methaporical destinations. The pattern can epitomize geographical connections and locations on a map; the idea of stepping stones, a physical progression to another point. Points between structures, landmarks, the river and the land, the hills, the roads, the ferry and the freeway. This pattern represents formed pathways and mapped movements over time, both minor and major connections.

You Are My Soul (Anta Ruwhi)

Artist: Ayad Alqaragholli

Year of Work: 2020

Location: 7 Mary Street

Description: The concept for You Are My Soul (Anta Ruwhi) arose from my observations of the natural flora and fauna and richness of the environment in the South Perth area. After migrating from Iraq in 2005 I undertook
further studies in visual arts at Curtin University. Regularly driving along the South Perth foreshore I
frequently observed the abundance of bird life and in particular pelicans. These intriguing birds
embodied for me a freedom of spirit and resonated personally as a parallel of my freedom and new beginnings in my adopted country of Australia.
The two human figures, a man and woman pay homage to the multicultural tapestry of the South Perth community and how this blend of people live, love and interact. My very first ferry trip across the Swan River to South Perth allowed me to reflect on the people of this community. I noticed that many of the people around me as I stepped onshore in South Perth were couples, young and old, strolling happily and openly displaying love and affection. It is this human element; the soulmate connection that I
depict and reflect in this sculpture. The people who comprise the diverse South Perth community are enriched by the natural environment and their freedom to enjoy this abundant landscape. I hope that my sculpture will embody the positive values of life and that the wider audience who view my sculpture will feel uplifted and blessed as did I with my first experiences of this area.

Karl Kep Ngoornd-iny (Fire and Water Dreaming)

Artist: Yondee Shane Hansen with Art+ (Art Coordination)

Year of Work: 2020

Location: Mindeerup, South Perth - Light projection and audio (after dark), central piazza

Description: Two brothers dreaming, fire and water. They come from the one energy which is lightning. Once the lightning has struck the dry land, the fire begins its journey of life across the country. Starting a cleansing process, the fire destroys old growth and opens up to new vegetation, like seeds plants and grasses. The Aboriginal people would use the fire to hunt and collect small game. The season changes, bringing storm clouds rolling in from the distance. Heavy rains start the healing process by flooding the land. Billabongs, lakes and rivers are filled, bringing new grasses and plants back to the areas and attracting the kangaroos and emus and other small game. The land has changed, and is full of spirit and food, colour. The season and land slowly changes once again. The animals and all the seeds from the plants are disappearing. The land dries out and the circle of the noongar seasons, and life is ready to start all over again.

SIX NOONGAR SEASONS:

BIRAK--- December/January dry and hot. The season of the young.

BUNURU--- Febuary/March. Hottest part of the year. The season of Adolescence

DJERAN--- April/May. Cooler weather begins.The Season of adulthood.

A Quiet Walk

Artist: Rick Vermey

Year of Work: 2020

Location: Mindeerup, South Perth - Electrical substation to east of Mindeerup

Description: Inspiration for this artwork comes from the experience of quietly walking alone in native bushland. Wandering through the bush, things have a way of slipping in and out of focus, flitting between shadow and light, as first this plant and then that plant leap to the centre of vision. A collage of small momentary details is imprinted in the mind. Such tiny details as the shape of a leaf, the silhouette made by a cluster of overlapping branches or the brazen colour and form of a unique flower each capture our attention in turn, standing out in vivid relief, yet quickly receding in the shimmer.
