Konara Yapung shares the journey of Chris and Karen, from their homelands abroad, to their family home today, on Wurundjeri land.
To the left of the canvas the traditional symbol for woman, sits upon a backdrop of interwoven country and engraved circles, which are reflective of the islands of Scotland where Karen was born. To the right we see the symbol for man, representing Chris with an engraved backdrop representation of the Island of Malta where he was born.
Moving towards the centre of the artwork, vertical water imagery highlights their crossing of the waters on their journey to Australia, while the large gathering circle and engravings, central to the canvas, depict their home today on the lands of Wurundjeri with their family. Chris and Karen are shown upon the very top of the gathering circle and their beautiful daughters, represented just beneath, connecting the family as one, as they go forward into their future journey together.

As an artist, I enjoy the creative journey of collaboration experienced when connecting directly with people, to create personalised artwork. I welcome opportunity to create commissioned artworks for individuals, groups or professional organisations. My goal in accepting commission is for the process to be both gratifying for me, as an artist and pleasurable for those who have decided to integrate my art into their living or working environment.
I invite you to view my past works, current collections and view testimonials to gain an insight into who I am as a person and an artist. Let’s see how we might work together to create a uniquely individual artwork for your home or office.
COMMISSIONED ARTWORK
I am happy to discuss your requirements and answer question relating to your project as you consider commissioning me to bring your artwork vision to reality.
Should you wish to provide me with an image of your space(s) and some ideas and concepts you are working with, it would be my pleasure to provide you with an initial design concept and quotation.
I have had the pleasure of working with various organisations and individuals to create uniquely linked personal artwork, meeting specific requirements and telling stories through contemporary art and design.
TERMS
Commissioning an artwork is an exciting and collaborative process with time invested in obtaining a thorough brief to ensure your vision is realised. I have wide-ranging experience in creating site-specific artwork for both residential and commercial spaces.
When pricing my artwork I factor in the dimensions of the work, the costs of the material to be used and the labour intercity of the techniques and processes that will be employed in creating your work.
Once a decision is made to move forward with a design a 25% deposit is required to enable us to proceed.
Please contact me should you wish to discuss your project
