ORIGINS
The Beforeland, acrylic on canvas, 60 ×80cm
-
I painted this work while eight months pregnant. It tells the story of my baby meeting my ancestors in the Dreaming and coming to Earth. The Dreaming is both the time of creation and the living present; all time exists simultaneously, and the Dreaming is not separate from our world but surrounds and connects it.
The painting reflects on ancestry, belonging, continuity, and connection
