“I’ve created this piece with our community and mind represented by the crystal, which is blossoming into flowers.

Asset Type: Mural
Year of Work: 2021
Location: Collie Woolworths, rear carpark
Provenance: Shire of Collie
Description: “Collie coal has played a vital role in the development of Western Australia. The danger and hard work that the men (and women who supported the family) endured is incredible and hard to comprehend in this day and age.
I wanted to pay tribute to the underground coal mining industry in two parts.
Central to part one is a hostler walking out with his pit pony at the end of shift. The painting is referenced from a photo taken at the Bullfinch Coal Mine (Proprietary )Collie in April 1939.
Part two is laid out like a timeline, from the early days (earliest reference photo from 1939) dominated by manual-handling up until the introduction of machinery like the bobcat and the Alpine Continuous Miner.” Shakey (Jacob Butler)
