‘The Spirits - Wiru’
By Julie Dowling
2014
48’ x 40’ inch
Acrylic, Mica Gold & Plastic on Canvas

This painting is about three girls who live on the streets in the suburbs of Perth.
Many children live mainly on the street because their homes are overcrowded or their families suffer from inter-generational trauma. This manifests in drug and alcohol related violence and abuse.
When these children have not elders around them to explain their connection to country it is as if the wiru or spirits make them connected to their ancestors.
Many families were displaced from their sacred areas for many reasons and moved to the larger cities. They find it difficult to return to country.
The trees are tall 'Nyining' (spirit trees in the Noongar language) which show that these young women will one day begin their own families but very far from Badimaya country.
