Koorliny Kalil Djarlyininy (Coming and Going Home Swiftly)

Marcia McGuire

Title: Koorliny Kalil Djarlyininy (Coming and Going Home Swiftly)

Artist/s: Marcia McGuire

Year: 2024

Site: Ellenbrook Station

Location Detail: The artwork is integrated into two shade canopies/arbors on the north-west corner of the station along The Parkway, near the bus entry to the interchange.

Medium: Perforated steel screen

Description:

Ellenbrook was known as Gynning, ‘the place of looking’ for the Whadjuk Noongar people; the circle represents the location being a place of meeting for those entering Whadjuk Country, and the lines flowing from the centre to the edges represent the traveller's journey alongside footprints. The Balga's (grass tree) circular stump, Gum Tree leaves and Peppermint Tree represent the elements of a traditional smoking ceremony, welcoming, blessing and protecting visitors and travellers from all walks of life, representing everyone coming and going from their homes in Ellenbrook and a sense of safe and swift travels.
