Signed on the back.
White Ochre from Wiradjuri country has been added to the paint,a little bit of country in every work.
Titled with lyrics from 'Fast Car' Tacey Chapman
Using traditional symbols and title's of song lyrics I create compositions and stories to evoke the emotional cues that explore the connection of place and memory .
As Indigenous people's moved around they created songs to map significant sites,food sources and places that were passed down through generations. Taking a contemporary approach of the tradition of Songlines in Aboriginal culture, I am interested in how music and lyrics have a strong connection to memory.The sound of music can transport us to a time passed,the words can evoke an even deeper emotional response.
