JACK BROMELL, KARDA, 2020
Location: 38-40 Johnston St, Collie
“I have painted a giant Karda (goanna) over patterns of native flora to the area. The skin of the Karda depicts the people of Collie, past and present, celebrating the moon and the stars. I chose to paint the Karda because it's an iconic and striking reptile native to the area. It may serve as a reminder to the community that nature is to be respected and without it we have no stories and no history.” Jack Bromell
