Kep Koorliny Djenna Bidi (Water Moving Walking Trail) is an integrated ground plane artwork by Bibbulmun artist Lea Taylor that traces the movement of water and story across Country. Embedded within the paving of the ECU City campus, the work draws on Noongar knowledge systems and the journeys of the Wagyl, the ancestral being responsible for shaping waterways and sustaining life.
Flowing lines and circular forms move through the site, referencing the wetlands and aquifers that once defined this landscape, including Lake Goologoolup. Though now largely hidden beneath the urban environment, these water systems remain present, continuing to shape the land and its cultural significance.
Taylor’s practice is deeply grounded in culture, family and Country. Drawing from her experience as a weaver and cultural practitioner, she translates knowledge into contemporary form – creating a work that speaks to the passing on of knowledge across generations.
Integrated across key entry points and pedestrian pathways, the artwork becomes part of the daily experience of the campus. It invites people to walk with awareness, to engage with the deeper histories of place, and to recognise their own journey within a continuum of learning that extends far beyond the present moment.
