This artwork draws on the enduring connection between Indigenous peoples and their country. Taking an abstract approach, this artwork represents the features of landscapes across Australia. It shows the rocks, mountains and sites of significance, the places and people that connect us, wildflower, plants and waterbodies that sustain us and the stars at guide us. These things connect us to the land itself.

This design is inspired by my work exploring the Luritja and Kuku Yalanji lands of my Nanna and Nanny. Inspired by flying over the lands of my ancestors, I have used bright and bold colours I see across Ngunnawal Country. The vibrant yellow and greens are inspired by the wattle and eucalyptus that are iconic of the Canberra region. The design shows the rock formations, water bodies, flora and the people and places of Ngunnawal Country.

This work was inspired by the beauty of the Ginninderry landscape and depicts the meeting of Ginninderra Creek with the Murrumbidgee River and the surrounding area. I sought to pay respect to the cultural significance of the area, including the presence of secret and sacred sites, in a culturally appropriate way. Through a topographic approach, I have taken an ariel view that shows the creeks, hills and rivers that make up the Ginninderra landscape. I have shown the areas using earthy colours, which are inspired by the landscape itself.

‘Country’ is a representation of the interconnection of Country, water, sky and all living things with both the physical and spiritual world. The cultural landscape where Ginninderryis situated holds story and Songlines that are fundamental to the First Nations peoples, the Ngunnawal, whose physical and spiritual connection to the landscape is strong.
This artwork urges people to look deeper into the history of place, to know that the landscape was and always will be interconnected with the people since time immemorial, and to listen wholeheartedly to the stories and knowledges of the Ngunnawal peoples.
In Artwork 1, the connected stars and lines in the sky represent the Ancestors who continually watch over and guide First Nations people in this place. The dots inside the mountain lines depict the mountains as connecting the neighboring nations and beyond. The coloursof this artwork are black and white which depicts a night timescene, but also entices the viewer to create their own colourpalette of what Country looks like from their lens.

This artwork is an extension from my series of Life Source. It pays attention to the connection the river has with country, and its parallels with the veins in our body and the roots of trees. The veins of a river reach out to nurture country. The cracked earth represents country. Each piece of earth is significant, and in these images also represent stepping stones of connection, adventure and a place to grow with Country.
In both Life Source artworks, the river system depicted is a topographical view from Google Maps of the MurrumbidgeeRiver bend closest to Ginninderry, with the river system stretching over close to Strathnairn Arts Centre.
In Country 2, the concentric shapes are a representation of the gradients, elements and spaces of Country. The colourscheme of this artwork will reflect the colours of Country in the Ginninderry and Murrumbidgee River landscape

In Life Source 2, the gradual vibrancy dots toward the river embodies the importance of caring for our waterways that sustain life. The colours of this artwork are black and white which entices the viewer to create their own colour palette of what Country looks like from their lens.

This artwork is an illustration of the river connecting all life with many components to its story:
• People meeting by the river to drink, cook, hold ceremony, swim and play.
• Fishing nets made from native trees and shrubs and fish (U shapes) swimming in the stream.
• Animals and wildlife that access the water such as kangaroos, birds and insects.
• Plants such as the Black Wattle and the River She-oak trees, both plants with connections to the water and great importance for Ngunnawal people with medicinal, nutritional, seasonal indicators and tool making qualities.
• The ripple effect in the water represents continual passing on of knowledge.
This artwork aims to educate people on the diverse connections of the river, with many animals that call the place home, the flora that has been thriving in the landscape for thousands of years and the vital connection Ngunnawal people and surrounding nations have to the waterways. This work acts as a visual reminder of why we need to embody respect for the environment and place.
The colour scheme of this artwork reflects the colours of Country in the Murrumbidgee and surrounding landscape.

The red, yellow, and white will be traditional ochre colourswhen designing my cross-hatching and figures will be the traditional techniques passed down to me no matter what. But the rest is flexible my traditional (rakk) can’t be changed that’s embedded into to my heritage, pride and honour. All my backgrounds are bright and colourfuland I like to keep thing simple and colour coordinated.
