Showcase in Pixels 2024 - Showcase in Pixels is an annual exhibition organised by WALGA, showcasing artwork submitted by local governments that represents their council and is created by one of their local art groups. The selected artworks have the opportunity to be displayed at the heart of the city centre on the iconic Yagan Square digital tower. This year’s submission entered by the City of Gosnells was ‘SES throughout Gosnells’ Past’ created by local Artist and Year 10 student Kael Davies.
Artist Statement:
"This piece, entitled ‘SES throughout Gosnells’ Past’, encapsulates the past and present of the state emergency services in our suburb. This multimedia collage uses original photos from the Gosnells SES ranging from the 1980s to 2000s. This collage is then overlayed with native flora from areas such as the Woodlupine Reserve or Mills Park. In the centre is a watercolour and ink, contemporary rendition of a modern SES uniform. The meaning and inspiration behind this piece come from my mother's contribution to volunteer emergency services and the fulfilment that it provides her. I feel inspired by her bravery and courage and hope that this piece represents it."
