Enter Jasper Green from its south-western Grant Street edge and look for the mural on the tennis practice wall within the reserve. The pin marks the park approach; the exact mural position still needs checking.
In 2021, Justin Martin worked with North Cottesloe Primary School students to explore Nyungar culture and the animals, plants and places important to them. The children produced their own drawings and ideas, which Martin brought together with imagery significant to Nyungar culture to create the finished mural.
Look for Wardung (Australian raven), yonga (kangaroo), weitj (emu), fish and local plants including banksias and grass trees among the flowing lines, dots and blocks of colour. Rather than simply decorating a blank wall, the project gave local children a role in shaping an artwork about the place where they live.
You'll find the mural on the tennis practice wall inside Jasper Green. Tim Macfarlane Reid's Inside Spoken Things and Joanna Rhodes' Keeping Mum are nearby, while the playground, basketball hoop and open grass make this an easy art-and-play stop for families.
