Meet the Artist Behind the Olivine Skate Park Mural

Olivine’s new skate park is getting a creative boost, with Wurundjeri artist Coree Thorpe, designing a cultural piece to celebrate the area’s deep First Nations roots.

 

“My name is Coree Thorpe and I am a Yorta Yorta, Gunditjmara, Gunai, Wurundjeri artist based in Melbourne.

My art is an expression of who I am and how I connect to my people, my country and my identity. My family and community are at the very centre of why I practice my art.

I'm still learning who I am and what my artwork means, forever reflecting and restoring my cultural identity. Connecting to culture and restoring cultural processes are my sources of inspiration”

" The focus of the artwork and project is to be fun and also celebrate the totems of the Wurundjeri with Bunjil (Eagle) and Waa (Crow). The artwork depicts people coming together on Country and in this instance on the skate park”
