'Googar' Goanna Sculpture
This sculpture is a larger than life version of a small wooden toy goanna that our children would play with and learn from in traditional times.
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.
Vertical Message Sticks
Traditionally messages were painted and inscribed on a stick, which was then transported by hand. Typical messages inscribed on the stick by painting, carving or burning would be announcements of ceremonies, disputes, invitations, warnings, meetings, events and happenings.
