 EntitledAcrylic on Canvas
I called this painting 'Entitled' as a reference to their connection to the land and the devotion of ancestral lore and cultural law she puts into her belief. It is meant to be timeless, yet contemporary.
I hope it is a tribute to indigenous people, their relationship with and care of the land and their entitlement to it.
Thank you to Toogarr Morrison for his thoughtful comments and advice. |  AnticipationAcrylic on canvas |  Sticky Lou and the Stitch of DreamsSticky Lou has her genesis in a Noel Christian poem “Hughie and Sticky Lou”. Noel asked me to paint these characters, who inhabit an almost mythical North West, for a poster he was using to promote a PICA performance in 2001. As Sticky Lou took shape in paint ( a generous and determined shape I might add) she demanded a bigger canvas and her own space…lots of it. There are 10 in this series. |
