My artwork is about how we all connect to our culture and how our culture brings us together, from the roots of our earth, to the land which we all walk on, to the sun in our sky connecting all the seasons combining us together as one. The dots above the strip in the sky are representing our ancestors watching over us and guiding us throughout our journey in life, the strip in the sky represents how we connect to each other through how and what in culture and how we connect through the seasons, the symbols around the outskirts representing people…everyone connecting with each other, human and goanna tracks (my totem) through the middle tells the story of how we all walk together as one and the roots in the soil of my artwork representing how not only I but also many other Indigenous people connect to our land, culture and people.
Reconciliation …
… to me means a sense of belonging … being the true and honest person that you are and not being afraid of where you come from, and being proud of where your heritage arises from.
