Queensland Rail
Central Station

Jenna Lee’s concept for this public art installation at Brisbane City’s Central Station focuses on mapping using lines - 

As you move though the station, you travel through a mapped journey of life, land and time.

A train station is a site of transit, a place which exists between two places, never the final destination. It is a space between A & B, were people pass through, never lingering.

A site of transit is intimately linked with the mapping of space and time. This creative concept looks at not only First Nations ways of mapping but also asks the question - what is important to us as First People to represent and share with maps.

Inspired by Brisbane’s rich history of layered communities, this concept creates a singular unified narrative by weaving together three themes as a mapped journey which the traveller will move through.

Blaklash acted as the curator for this commission, working closely with Jenna Lee, a Gulumerridjin (Larrakia), Wardaman and KarraJarri Saltwater artist with mixed Japanese, Chinese, Filipino and Anglo-Australian ancestry.
