My artwork is about the different uses of fire, particularly as a place to gather and share knowledge. My artwork depicts people gathering over multiple generations to eat, dance and share a meeting place as they pass and share different cultural knowledges and histories. My artwork addresses the healing and cleansing properties of fire and smoke, highlighting that through the simple notion of coming together and sharing our stories we can begin to heal as a Nation.
Reconciliation means…
Reconciliation to me is about finding a way to bring together different cultures to reach an understanding.
