Yannick's practice centres on large-scale public artworks that activate their surroundings and reflect Queensland's subtropical character. This mural is designed to enhance the station's function as a busy transitional space while drawing on imagery familiar to the local community.
Referencing the culture, climate, and environment of South East Queensland, the artwork incorporates scenes of summer activity, flowing water, movement, and connection. These elements create a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere that transforms the station into a space that feels bright, lively, and distinctly Brisbane.
By highlighting local values of community, connection, and enjoyment, the artwork contributes to a station precinct that is inviting, memorable, and proudly representative of the area.
This mural reflects the unique character of Buranda - its people, its pace and its place. It draws from time spent sketching at the local pub, Buranda station and walking along the Norman Creek, capturing everyday moments of connection and movement.
The design brings together these impressions with bold colour and organic forms, cutting through the grey of the built environment and celebrating the energy of the local community.
Windows presents a series of framed 'windows' that use glass, light, and reflection to explore space, movement, and the history of Stones Corner.
The work incorporates everyday objects sourced from local opportunity and grocery stores, including vases, flowers, ginger beer, and other items that reference the area's commercial character. These objects are paired with reflected views of nearby architecture, creating a connection between the neighbourhood's past and present.
By drawing on familiar items, the artwork celebrates Stones Corner's identity as a long-standing hub of commerce and community activity. Its detailed composition invites close inspection from pedestrians moving through the space while also functioning as a cohesive visual narrative when viewed from a distance.
Joel Fergie (The Zookeeper), opens in new window
In Amongst, presents a stylised banksia landscape where people and nature coexist in a shared environment. Small figures on boom lifts interact with the large native flora, symbolising stewardship, collaboration, and respect for natural ecosystems.
Positioned at Buranda station, the artwork draws inspiration from the nearby Norman Creek corridor—its parklands, vegetation, and wildlife. It connects the movement of the station with the evolving urban landscape, encouraging commuters to reflect on their relationship with the natural world.
As I took my daughter to school for the first time this morning, I was reminded that change can be a welcome gentle breeze or a shocking gust that knocks you sideways.
Whatever form it takes, the winds of change will always come. Buranda meaning Windy Place was once a hub for horse drawn trams before the winds of change blew through.
