Wiradjuri Dreaming, 2022
Acrylic on canvas 87 x 171 cm

This painting represents me, the goanna in the middle, being a proud Wiradjuri man. The animals in the circles around me are our totems that our ancestors used. In our Wiradjuri culture, people with the same totem couldn’t marry each other. That’s how we could tell who we belonged to in our tribe.
