Part of National NAIDOC week celebration ‘Pinjah’ design by Sandra Hill, ceramic art by Jenny Dawson - J Shed Art Studio. Thank you for sharing Elizabeth Quay. Made in Fremantle-Walyalup at J Shed Freo.
BEHIND THE SCENES (repost)
“ Made up of more than 12,000 handmade and hand-coloured tiles, Pinjah tells a Noongar Dreamtime story about the creation of the Milky Way, the Noongar Six Seasons and the Six Ways Meeting Place.”
“Each clay tile was carefully shaped and placed, with individual curves creating a sense of movement across the work. Every detail was considered, from colour to placement to culturally significant markings.”
“Pinjah is a place of play, connection and shared stories that honour the enduring connection of Noongar people to Country. “

The Elizabeth Quay art walk is a collection of artworks from artists that were born, live or work in Western Australia. Each artwork tells a unique story about place, connection, culture and time. A weaving together of past and present.
The self-guided walk explores 12 artworks, including works from Noongar artists. Grab a coffee and stroll the waterfront at your own pace.
