Yiraybang / Hot Season
“Yiraybang speaks to the hot season, a time when Country feels heightened and alive in its extremes. This collection gathers quiet observations shaped by summer on Bundjalung Country, where I now live and create.
Summer here is not just weather. The air thickens, cicadas pulse, waterways slow, and the sun presses down with an ancient persistence. Yiraybang holds both the harshness and the tenderness of this time. It is in the fragments of shade, the movement of water, the resilience of the land and the late afternoon breeze.
As a Wiradjuri woman living and creating on Bundjalung Country, this body of work reflects on listening across Country, honouring the place I stand while carrying the language and seasonal memory of my own people. Yiraybang is both a seasonal marker and a quiet act of continuity, a way of understanding Country.
I am a proud Wiradjuri woman. A self-taught artist telling nature stories through Aboriginal art. I was born and raised in the Blue Mountains on Darug and Gundungurra country. A lot of my art is inspired by the beautiful, unique nature in this area. I aim to capture the little pieces of nature that many may not recognise in their busy lives. I want to tell their stories. The ripples in the sand, the layers in the rocks, the sun, and the moon, and the way they interact with the land.
I try not to limit myself to a particular style; just staying true to who I am as a person, and what feels right for me at the time. Each painting has a story. Art has been used to teach and pass down knowledge in my culture since time immemorial. I feel it’s so important to keep our culture and knowledge alive moving into our future, passing down these traditions to our children. I hope you see and feel the stories I am portraying in my art.
Mandaang Guwu,
Hannah”
