Coming into Bloom 
Commissioned by Yarra City Council
2020, North Fitzroy

Here, Minna has taken the shape of a traditional tree bauble and blown it up to a momentous scale and then decorated it with animals and bits of the Australian bush. With a nod to Melbourne’s beloved Myer Christmas Windows, Bargoonga Nganjin's circular windows around the building are dressed up in Leunig's stylised and playful animals, each one full of character, personality and spirit. These fantastical creatures, both familiar and strange can also be found creeping along the walkway of the library between the two  entrances to the building. Embellished with reflections of the Australian landscape and various botanical varieties these artworks will delight young and old alike. Responding to the spirit and vibrancy of the Festive Season in a very inclusive manner, her artworks installed at Bargoonga Nganjin will bring joy to passers-by and welcome everyone in Yarra’s diverse community to the library and other services.
