In residence at Bundanon

From the banks of the river, to the cool waters flowing, the pilgrimage is the journey gliding back to the sacred parts of childhood. To weave the past memories of trauma with new memories establishing positive reconnection and reconciliation with Bamal (earth). To listen to Mother Earth, to restore harmony and balance within the Artist’s self, community, and country. To heal.

“The longest relationship I have had is with Mother Earth, she is our Creator, I follow the seasons of the Sun and I move with the phases of the Moon. When I painted the Mother Earth movement she began to cry and so did I.”
