Marrunga Yubaa (Meaning Sweet Rain) – Series 2 - Autumn Print
Title of artwork: Marrunga Yubaa (Meaning Sweet Rain) – Series 2 - Autumn
Collection: Sweet Rain Series
Year: 2022
I pay my respect to Elders past and present and acknowledge the traditional owners of this land on which I was born and raised.
I introduce this story of hope through my unique Contemporary Aboriginal art style. This special piece, Marrunga Yubaa (Sweet Rain )– Series 2 Autumn is dedicated to anyone who has been able to accept and grow when something is beyond their control. It’s about letting go like the leaves of Autumn. This spiritual story depicts the beauty and colour of the change in season, it is to reassure you that even though the leaves will always fall, it is purposeful to make way for bountiful fresh new growth, albeit after what feels like a long tough winter. I hope the artwork will elicit joy in natural beauty; knowing a beautiful life is worth fighting for.
The inspiration for the design is drawn from nature, it is my depiction of rain. The shapes are individually crafted Aboriginal rain symbols through my lens. You will see dotted cups at the bottom of each individually coloured block-shaped raindrop, purposely painted in gold to represent the richness of our country. The overall composition depicts autumn leaves falling from the trees.
The colour palette is inspired by the breathtaking golden richness of ochre yellow, burnt orange, red ochre, and remnants of green Australian natives and of long shadows heading to the shorter winter days. It’s of ‘thick shed leaves on the ground reminding us to care for ourselves as we make our way. We are all different, allowing ourselves to be free and welcome change for new growth.
I hope this story inspires you to expect and accept change, that you are strong enough to
endure so much and like each season’s beauty, I hope you see an amazing colourful world.
