In Memoriam Jessica Louise Birk 05/08/1984 -10/11/2019

Strong Yaegl woman, who lived in the Northern Beaches of Sydney passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones on Sunday 10th November 2019 “This understanding of country allows for a two-way communication to evolve, between those belonging and the country to which they belong. Country is spoken to, sung to, loved and mourned, just as if were a family member. This personification of the landscape allows a more personal interpretation of what lies in it; everything then has a purpose and a story to tell, from the colours of the landscape right down to the stones within it.” Jessica Birk 2018 Jessica Birk BFA a multi- award winning artist graduated from COFA, UNSW in 2007 58
