Peregrination: a journey [wetlands, south]

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, south of the station

Medium: Acrylic paint

Artist/s Statement:

Peregrination is a 1.5km-long collaborative artwork bringing together the work of four artists. Peregrination 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 wetlands, connected to Djeran, the Noongar season of adulthood. Occurring from April to May it is a time marked by cooler weather. The artwork features the Australian Wood Duck, Carnaby Cockatoo, Bronze Wing Pigeon, and Australian Magpie, celebrating the rich birdlife of this landscape. Alongside local flora such as bullrushes, flowering banksia and slender knotweed.

 

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