‘Yorga’ – meaning ‘woman’ in Noongar language – is a striking floral installation created entirely from Australian native flora, sourced from Country. The piece takes the form of a U and I design, symbolising a woman and her digging stick – powerful representations of the deep connection between women and the land, honouring the Whadjuk women of the Noongar Nation. Just as plants draw strength from their roots, so too do we, guided by the knowledge and wisdom of the women who came before us.
Join visual artist Dana Garlett (Paperbark Design Studio) alongside floral artists Tara Rees (Euka Floral Design) and Rebecca Anthony (Edie and Ivy Flowers) as they discuss the collaborative process behind ‘Yorga’ and its significance.
This is a unique opportunity to hear from the artists, uncover the rich storytelling woven into the installation, and explore the intersection of art, culture, and floristry.
This artist talk is part of the Subi Blooms x Gather 2025 program.
