Gindy Legs & Jason Lee

GINDY LEGS
Cyan Sue-Lee and Mikayla Lee are Gulumerridjin (Larrakia) sisters and multidisciplinary artists. Growing up in a highly creative and artistic family, expressing themselves through art has been a lifelong practice. They employ several mediums to explore their practice including paints, clay, wire, bamboo, fibres, natural pigments and other organic resources. They draw upon their cultural heritage and are inspired by their ancestral lands.

JASON LEE
Jason Lee is a self-taught artist who was born and raised in Darwin, Northern Territory.

Having grown up next to saltwater and learning his Gulumerrdjin (Larrakia) culture from his mother, Uncles, Aunties and brothers and sisters this sparked an interest in art and this interest was cultivated during his teenage years and further developed when he started learning the Larrakia language. Jason’s artistic influences come from his Larrakia ancestry and the Larrakia Language and cultural practices.

His art is a mix of contemporary and traditional styles. Jason has always been fascinated by images and how the world is represented through art

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This mural is inspired by the rich natural landscape that surrounds the wall, with the thick bushland behind Leanyer sparking the heart of the design. The seasonal rhythm of the land guided the work—the arrival of the migrating geese each wet season, the towering monsoonal clouds rolling in, and the ever-present pandanus, a plant deeply woven in the Top End landscape and Aboriginal culture and use.


Through this mural, we wanted to honour the living cycles and elements of Country. It’s a tribute to the land, animals, plants and to the ongoing inspiration we find in being connected to this place.
