Karl Kep Ngoornd-iny (Fire and Water Dreaming)
Artist: Yondee Shane Hansen, Art+ (Art Coordination)
Asset Type: Public amenity
Year of Work: 2020
Location: Mindeerup, South Perth - Light projection and audio (after dark), central piazza
Description: Two brothers dreaming, fire and water. They come from the one energy which is lightning. Once the lightning has struck the dry land, the fire begins its journey of life across the country. Starting a cleansing process, the fire destroys old growth and opens up to new vegetation, like seeds plants and grasses. The Aboriginal people would use the fire to hunt and collect small game. The season changes, bringing storm clouds rolling in from the distance. Heavy rains start the healing process by flooding the land. Billabongs, lakes and rivers are filled, bringing new grasses and plants back to the areas and attracting the kangaroos and emus and other small game. The land has changed, and is full of spirit and food, colour. The season and land slowly changes once again. The animals and all the seeds from the plants are disappearing. The land dries out and the circle of the noongar seasons, and life is ready to start all over again.
