STORY - Coastal Country

Coastal Country Resources

This artwork is a representation of our land and the resources that Country shares with us. It is about sustainability and reciprocity between us and Country. Using colours inspired by the coast, this artwork incorporates elements to reflect various natural resources and our connection with each resource. This includes water as our source of life (waterholes), plants and bush tucker (gum leaves and bush flowers), animal tracks (possums, kangaroos, and goannas), as well as collaborative relationships between families and communities (footprints and meeting places). The finer dotted details in the background are representative of the diverse people and communities that are connected through Country. This serves as a reminder that we are all connected and have a shared responsibility to care for and nurture our Country, so that Country can continue to provide for us.
