STORY - The Sun

The Sun

This artwork represents the sun and the concept of it within Aboriginal culture. The sun is an important component of the Dreaming in Aboriginal culture. We consider the sun a woman- she lights a fire each morning to shine light over Country so our people can see. I liken this idea to the way in which others shine their light, and give others energy, hope and fulfilment. By giving light to others when they need it, they give light to road ahead and the path in which to walk. Within this piece, she shines her light over Wiradjuri Country, my home.
