Eyes in the Night

Installed in the Myalup Bus Shelter, the Eyes in the Night mural celebrates Myalup’s wildlife, featuring the Southern Boobook Owl, Brush-tailed Phascogale, Western Ringtail Possum and Coastal Plains Skink, along with a Sun Moth resting on a rock, waiting for daylight.

When night falls, another world awakens. Beneath the trees of the Hundred Acre Wood and Lake Josephine, bright eyes emerge from branches, hollows and leaf litter.
Inspired by the 100 Acre Wood and Lake Josephine, Eyes in the Night celebrates the creatures that emerge after dark and the biodiversity that makes Myalup so special.
Artist, Astrid Birt

The artwork was created by Myalup resident Astrid Birt of Fresh Tracks Farm; an artist, educator, environmental scientist and regenerative farmer. Inspired by the landscapes she lives and works within, Astrid’s practice draws on the connection between paddock and coast, celebrating the vibrant life and relationships that exist between people, place and the natural environment.

The project was driven by strong community pride and a great sense of collaboration between the Myalup Community Association and the Shire of Harvey.

This artwork is one of many creative pieces across the Harvey Region. Discover the full collection here.
