Artwork Description

The old sign that has been standing at the start of the iconic Gibb River road at the Derby, West Kimberley end has recently been replaced with a bigger digital sign. I decided to commemorate the countless times travellers have stopped to pose with the sign and make their mark before going on their epic adventure up the Gibb.

Originally from South Australia, Linda Wilson has been living in the Kimberley with her family since 2004, first in the East Kimberley for 6 years, and in the West Kimberley since 2011.

"Being an artist for me means taking the time to observe and appreciate my surroundings and the people & culture around me. I love to capture the essence of place and the happenings of ordinary life and interactions in this remote part of Australia."

Based in Derby on Nyikina/Warrwa land, Linda has received recognition including the Overall Winner of the Kimberley Art Prize 2024 and the Works on Paper Award 2023. She has had her first solo exhibition at the Redbill Studio Gallery in Broome in June 2026.
