STORY
Whilst in-residence at Sir Sidney Nolan Trust in Wales, I spent the greatest part of my 6 weeks in Nolan’s very own reading room flicking through the pages marked and annotated by the man himself. He had an avid interest in Aboriginal politics, welfare and the philosophical dilemma the great Australian Silence had on generations of white and black people. It was in his vast library of first edition books that a story of our Gadigal Dyin (Gadigal women) first started to reveal itself to me. And it was there, 17,000 km from home, where I found us.This painting represents a time-honoured weaving technique used for expendable fishing baskets.
