Artwork Description

I am a proud Darumbul, Wulli Wulli and Wakka Wakka man. Culture is weaved through my life. As I live in a society where the dominate culture is not my own I need to return to country to gain strength to keep moving through this system. This peice shows a small portion of what culture is and depicts how I draw strength from it, which is expelled through my exposure to the society I life in.

My name is Ernest Garrett, I am an indigenous man belonging to the Darumbal and Wulli Wulli Peoples. I grew up on my father's country in Rockhampton including the river Tunuba (Fitzroy River). I gain my inspiration from places like the Tunuba River, our native country, family and connection.
