Murrup Biik

“Bilang Biik” , 2023.

powdercoated cast aluminium

Commissioned by Level Crossings Removal Project, design lead by Collide, 2024


”Murrup Biik – meaning ‘Spirit Country’ – aims to change the way people view Aboriginal artefacts and acknowledge that they are a living, breathing life-giving force with spirit and knowledge.

The artwork comprises 3 colourful sculptures placed across the Siding Reserve and Arthur Street pocket park in South Yarra.

Each sculpture features a patterned design of Murnong flowers, which represent the harvest collected by the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung women of Victoria.

The sculptures are placed in various orientations within native planting. The colours represent ochre colours found across Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country, used to tell stories and practice ceremonies.”
