Untitled by Kyle Hughes-Odgers

Artist: Kyle Hughes-Odgers

Year of Work: 2020

Location: 26-28a Charles Street

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.

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.

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.
