In collaboration with the City of Wyndham, I’ve embarked on an endeavour to create the largest mural ever painted by an Indigenous artist in Australia.
Artwork's Muse
This monumental artwork paints a vivid narrative. A central blue river mirrors the Werribee River’s flow, while Bunurong Country below resounds with celebrations of identity and kinship. Blue circles echo freshwater springs, signifying the movement across basalt country, etching generations’ footprints into time. Yellow hues evoke the coastal environment, and ancestral connection, embodied by Bunjil, weaves through the design. Gum leaves extend a warm welcome through a smoking ceremony.
Meaning Communicated
Mooroop Yarkeen translates to “Spirit Dreaming” and the mural will become a welcome feature of in the centre of Werribee. It is 41 metres tall and depicts wildlife, habitat and cultural heritage, interlinking the themes of the city and its First Nations history.
‘The mural is vibrant, vivid, rich in texture and references the Wirribi Yaluk (Werribee River), sand hills and basalt plains, welcoming gum leaves, community coming together in unity, dreaming and Bunjil’s flight.’
Credited Artists: Tommy Day III & Conrad Bizjak
The mural’s upper realm radiates hope, while the lower section unveils the present and future, where the footprints of those in the City of Wyndham are etched into the land, forging a brighter path forward.
Proudly presented along with the City of Wyndham Council
The Holiday Inn donated the wall to the City of Wyndham so we could create this mural for the community. NAME, Mayor officially presented the mural as a gift to the city.
