Among the Reeds · Brisbane Showgrounds
Among the Reeds was unveiled at the Brisbane Showgrounds precinct on 11 September 2025.
The artwork responds to Bowen Hills / Meanjin as a place of gathering, movement, trade and connection to Country. A gentle eel moves through the composition, while a tidal river, bunya pine, wallabies and native plants carry stories of abundance and life.
The bunya pine and eel were chosen in consultation with Aunty Kathryn Fisher, acknowledging the cultural connections of this place.
Soft pastels sit alongside brighter colours, holding both the energy of community life and a quieter space for reflection. The work recognises the layers of history carried by the precinct and the continuing presence of Country.
