My artwork is about how plants and the lush green of the landscape carries the traditions and customs of the Aboriginal people. I have depicted native plants slowly flowing down the sandstone rock in order to symbolise the growth of new generations. Through the recognition of the ways Aboriginal people used to interact with their environment and use Native Plants, we are able to begin healing as we recognise the bounty that surrounds us.
