Yuin Artist Natalie Bateman tells the story of her family and the history of whaling on their traditional lands in Djiraali Muriyira. Going on a field trip to Eden with the ANU SOAD Balawan Elective group back in 2016 and listening to naturalist John Blay give a talk about Davidson's Whaling Station, sparked Bateman's interest for the exhibition. She then went on a journey into their family's history working for the whaling station around Twofold Bay where their tribes had the last whale ceremony.
"Muriyira is whale in our Dhurga language. Djiraali is blood. The triangles represent our Yuin Nations DNA, how our ancestors once roamed freely on our homelands. These triangles all connect, they connect to the hills, mountains, river mouths estuaries, rivers and ocean. These triangles are our parents our children. They represent all living things growing and living on this land. The triangles are they day and night, stars and the universe. This is my songline I paint from my Yuin ancestry" Bateman said.
