Place of Flowers
Mosaic artwork of intersections of footpaths
Place of Flowers is a very beautiful public artwork, created by proud Nyoongar woman and Ballingup artist Sandra Hill, and ceramic artist Jennifer Dawson. The work is located in the heart of Ferrara Reserve in the suburb of Girrawheen. It depicts the Nyoongar six seasons in ceramic tiles and is a great discovery when ambling along the park’s pathways, near the children’s playground.
Through their works, which have been exhibited widely and feature in major public art collections, Sandra Hill and Jennifer Dawson are always endeavouring to diminish the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Working collaboratively together, Jennifer and Sandra have created an expertly crafted and lasting tribute to unity with each other and with this land.
