Art creates and connects us to our culture.
This piece represents my connection to my Aboriginal heritage and country and that feeling deep within you that you experience – sense of place. I am of Gumbaynggirr and Bundjalung descent (Northern NSW).
The tree is my connectiveness with the land and the footsteps represent my ancestors who walked the land before me and through their guidance/wisdom my journey begins.
The circles in my piece represent the ring of river stones from which my family has a smoking ceremony. We do this every year at Lionsville, NSW.
