New Natural

David Lee Pereira brings us thought-provoking murals. This time, David collaborated with Amina Briggs to create a cohesive design spanning across two walls, representing themes of environmental consciousness and First Nations heritage. This is the first section of the wall, created by David.

'The Maidenhair Fern has been selected as an endemic species of the Dandenong Ranges, which recognises and pays respect to the land that came long before us. Scattered amongst the foliage are plastic zip ties which have been used by the artist to represent the impact of our own presence on the natural landscape. This statement of environmental awareness is important for David particularly, as someone fascinated and constantly inspired by the natural environment.'
