Скачать или смотреть Yawa (Long Journey) | Berninneit, Cowes, Phillip Island

Yawa (Long Journey) was commissioned for Berninneit, Cowes, and created by award-winning artist Maree Clarke (Yorta Yorta, Wamba Wamba, Mutti Mutti and Boon Wurrung).

Permanently displayed in the Grand Hall, Yawa (Long Journey) consists of thirty Murrini glass panels, shaped and suspended to form a stunning glass canoe overhead. Patination on the glass captures the microscopic elements of the river reed and reflects the play of light and colour of the wetlands and ocean that surround Millowl, Phillip Island. The canoe references the long connection to waterways and history of travel to the island by First Nations people.

Over 300 community members contributed to the creation of these patterns in glass, during public workshops led by Maree Clarke and three generations of her family, Kerri Clarke, Wade Mahoney, Mitch Mahoney, Molly Mahoney and baby Yarran Clarke-Mahoney, in January and February 2025. The panels created in these community workshops were then sent to Canberra, where they were fused and fabricated into their final form by Canberra Glassworks.
