Jedess Hudson

Descendant of the Ewamian and Western Yalanji people

Jedess Hudson is a descendant of the Ewamian and Western Yalanji people of North Queensland. Throughout her creative journey, Jedess draws deeply from her traditional homelands. Elements of the land, seasons, bush tucker, flora, and fauna are integral to her art practice, reflecting her strong cultural connection. Growing up, Jedess was taught to be keenly aware of her surroundings, especially in nature, and to analyse the diverse landscape that shapes her work.

Twinkling Star

How magical is it sitting under the clear sky, watching the stars sparkle and shine brightly, as the sun rises and sets. For us, as Aboriginal people, the sky are maps and storybooks for us to read. Depending on the season and time of year the sky provides us with so many beautiful colours that are truly magical and fully appreciated when we get to witness it in person.
