WaJarrI YamaJI Artwork
Pawsey’s relationship with Wajarri Yamaji Country is recognised in the art that has been selected to adorn the cabinets of our computers and walls of our centre.
We acknowledge the tens of thousands of years of unbroken Aboriginal ownership of the land today used to unlock the secrets of the universe. First Nations people were our earliest astronomers, and we have sought to honour this connection.
Setonix is clad in Indigenous artwork by visual artist Margaret Whitehurst, a Wajarri woman born on Billabalong Station in the Murchison, and inspired by the stars that shine over Wajarri Yamaji Country.
Pawsey’s former supercomputers, Magnus and Galaxy, each bore beautiful Indigenous artwork, Magnus featured SKA Satellites on the Murchison, a piece by Margaret Whitehurst. Galaxy’s design was created by Jesse Pickett, a Noongar-Yamaji artist, and combined two artworks: Rainbow Serpent and the Moon, and The Sun.
