DJARLINY

NOONGAR SIX SEASONS COLLECTION

Kaya! My name is Natalie Clark (Jackson).

My totem spirit animal, is the Blue-tongue Lizard, known in my local dialect as Yoorn and my Artist-name Djarliny translates from Noongar to English as flame. I was born in the coastal town of Undalup (Busselton), which is situated in the Southwest of Western Australia.  I am from the Wardandi/Bibbulman Noongar Nation and the Ballardong Noongar Nation.

The inspiration behind the Noongar Six Seasons Artworks stems from my upbringing, where each Season embodies an essence passed down through generations. The Six Noongar Seasons reflect the heartbeat of country and form a cornerstone to preserve the interconnectedness of our ecosystem.

There are many Aboriginal communities throughout Australia, and all have their own language, lore systems, kinship systems and beliefs. Aboriginal language was an oral language that was passed down from one generation to the next, therefore the language can vary in spelling.
