Ausgrid RAP Artwork

Gather & Create

The incredible team at Ausgrid reached out to Yirra Miya to create their Reconciliation Action Plan artwork and layout.

When meeting with the Ausgrid team, Lauren felt such a goodwill and passion for the work that they do, it felt like an alignment that you could only dream about when creating an artwork for clients. The reflections shown through the Ausgrid team, meant that they truly understood what the Reconciliation journey meant. That it’s not a linear process, that there will be tumultuous times, and that with each movement forward it’s an opportunity to listen, learn, and reflect.

“Ausgrid’s ability to identify and highlight their passion for their green energy journey gave me hope that, in partnership with First Nations peoples, we can learn from Traditional Elders and community how to better care for our lands and create a sustainable impact moving forward.”

Lauren is incredibly thankful that she could capture Ausgrid’s journey through this artwork, and work in consultation and collaboration with their amazing team.
