2023
Salty One · Country and Connection
Lowell Hunter and I collaborated again in 2023, bringing his sand artwork Country and Connection together with my hand-painted work, Kin.
The base image was created by Lowell and his son on Wadawurrung Country at Thirteenth Beach in Victoria. Its lines in the sand reflect the relationships that keep people culturally and spiritually connected to Country.
My painting follows the journey home, walking gently with Kin and Country and remembering the knowledge passed on by our old people.
Blooming wildflowers and bush medicine sit alongside hills and rocks, holding ideas of growth, wisdom and strength.
Across the two practices, the work shares the importance of knowledge moving between generations. Sand marks, photography and acrylic paint meet in one finished artwork.
The release included an edition of 30 reproduction fine art prints.
