Welcome to the Dambart Karlak page. Here, you can explore the inspiration, process, and details behind this piece, offering a glimpse into the artist creative journey.
The City recently commissioned an artwork to be completed by a Nyoongar artist which celebrates the rich cultural history of Kwinana that can be utilised for various branding and marketing activities. This may include the use of the artwork in a range of marketing and communications collateral including, but not limited to, the revised Reconciliation Action Plan, staff uniforms, car wraps, merchandise, signage, digital and printed marketing material.
Dambart Karlak is a contemporary design that highlights Nyoongar relationship with place and expresses the City of Kwinana’s attributes. Dambart Karlak translates to 'Three Camps,' with dambart, meaning three, and karlak meaning home or camp.
Dambart is in the name because there are four sets of three symbols in this design; being the attributes that identify Kwinana (industry, ocean and flora), the bobtails that always find each other, the boomerangs that always come back and the shields for protection. The second half, Karlak, is part of the name because Kwinana is a home to Nyoongar people and is a place many return to.
Boola Dilbi is the name of the background art and this translates to 'Many Living Leaves.'
Boola is the Nyoongar word for many and Dilbi means living leaves. Here, the Nyoongar word for many was chosen in the name to represent the abundance Kwinana has to offer in culture and opportunities. The word for living leaves was also selected to reflect the city’s growth and to highlight that Kwinana is a place where Nyoongar culture is celebrated and living as it is home to many Nyoongar residence.
As Kwinana is known for its many trees an artwork featuring leaves was fitting. The colours are the secondary colour featured in the Hero Graphic, with the introduction of the light yellow which was created to retain constancy in the image.
