At PICA we recognise that we are situated within the unceded lands of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation. We pay our respects and offer our gratitude to Elders past and present. We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the importance of their care and continued connection to culture, community and Country.

Always was, always will be.

Where Waters Meet 

Where Waters Meet 

The PICA Hub is a place to make, experiment and share stories about what water means to you during Revealed 2026.  

The hands-on art activity has been developed with Wardandi and Baiyungu artist, Dellas Bennell, and is inspired by her Revealed artwork Three Waters. This activity celebrates the plants and animals of the ocean, mangrove and river environments of the south‑west of Western Australia, where the artist lives and works. 

Using mark-making and printing techniques, you can experiment with texture, pattern and layering to reflect on your own relationship with water. Make one quick mark or build up a detailed, layered drawing to add to the community artwork that will grow across the season. 

About the artist

Dellas Bennell is a Wardandi and Baiyungu woman from Bunbury, Western Australia. Her practice is deeply rooted in cultural heritage and coastal living, drawing inspiration from her connection to Country. Working across acrylic painting, textiles, sculpture, fashion design, botanical relief sculpture and glass jewellery, she celebrates wildlife and flora through contemporary art influenced by coastal living. Central to her practice is engagement with Elders and cultural heritage advisors to promote looking after Country, knowledge that has been passed down from her families. Dellas’ delicate artistic approach captures the wonder of Wardandi Country’s skies, waterways and oceans. 

Dellas has contributed to a range of public art projects, including collaborations through Karrak Designs with her daughter Korrine Bennell-Yarran.
