Where
Family Gathering
This is the way the family used to gather. This sculpture represents the importance of the family group, staying together and staying connected to the land.
Guguburra's
This sculpture is an acknowledgement to our King of birds – Guguburra. Undoubtedly, the most beautiful budyaan (bird) in Wiradjuri country!
Wiradjuri Woman
The Wiradjuri Woman was burnt on the Possum Skin Cloak for the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in 2006 and now I have created a sculpture emerging out of this tree stump – as if a spirit is breaking free.
