Reconciliation Shield
The figure depicted is holding his hands in a position of submission. Enough is enough – we all need to walk together on this journey of reconciliation
About the artist
"I am a Barkandji woman on my Mum’s side and Yorta Yorta on my Dad’s side. I love living on Wiradjuri country – it keeps me strong in culture and connected with both the land and the people."
"I believe that the River is the Giver of Life to everyone who lives in or visits our community."
- Tamara Murray, Barkandji/Yorta Yorta
Where
‘Maya’ Fish Trap Sculpture
This sculpture is a funnel style fish trap that was commonly used by the Wiradjuri people in this area.
The Bigger Picture
The frame represents movement and change for Aboriginal people. We are evolving to adapt to the ever changing environment.
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.
