Peregrination: a journey [scarp]

Mel McVee, Haylee Fieldes, Amok Island and Seantelle Walsh

Title: Peregrination: a journey

Artist/s: Mel McVee, Haylee Fieldes, Amok Island and Seantelle Walsh

Year: 2025

Category: Mural

Site: Armadale Station and precinct

Location Details: Viaduct piers, north of Glastonbury Road

Medium: Acrylic paint

Artist/s Statement:

Peregrination is a 1.5km-long artwork bringing together the work of four artists. It represents a journey – weaving culture, history, and nature. Layered with flora, fauna, pathways, and Noongar stories, it travels through landscapes – river, wetlands, bush, and scarp. At the heart of the design is kep (water), inspired by the three brooks, Wungong, Cardup, and Manjedal, that cross the rail corridor.

The artwork in this area represents the landscape of the scarp, connected to the Noongar seasons of Makuru and Djilba, times of rain, growth, and transformation. The retaining wall mural features a kangaroo, symbolising adaptability and resilience, alongside the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo and Quenda, all representing the rich biodiversity of this place. Artist Seantelle Walsh’s flowing linework connects camps and communities, honouring Noongar history while acknowledging the site’s ongoing significance today as a place of movement.

 

The Public Transport Authority acknowledge that Noongar languages are oral in nature and that one word can be spelt in multiple ways.
