Priscilla Indichnavon (she/her), Yued, Nyoongar
Manatj, 2025
synthetic polymer paint on canvas
41 x 41 x 4 cm

The Manatj (Cockatoo - munn-arch) is important to the Nyoongar people. They have a connection to our Nyoongar anscestors and symbolise protection.

I have placed the Manatj settling down on a bush at a beach that I went to many times in my life when living on Yamatji Country. I have incorporated plants that grow in Makuru into the wings and body. Makuru is the Nyoongar season of fertility and  is the coldest and wettest part of the year but is also around the time that I was born.

The bush (Horney Hop Bush) that grows near the beach is a tangled ground cover that thrives in Jambinu country. The irregular lines depict a tangle of leaves but also some kind of structure that supports the Manitj.

The Karla (Camp) represents my brothers, sister and Mum.
