I painted this piece during a week spent in the bush with my friend Anneke, a painter and sculptor originally from Holland. We were house-sitting for some friends who are Wirri and Birri people and artists. I was inspired to create this painting of being held by this sacred space, surrounded by protective shields and the isolation of the bush.
My friend Rose wrote a poem for NAIDOC week, and I'd like to share it with you: https://www.motherofmytribe.com/post/acknowledging-naidoc-week-2023
