Awabakal

Description

Framed stretch canvas Acrylic on canvas 40cm (H) x 30cm (W) / Pinewood frame

The artwork “Awabakal” is a vibrant expression of connection to Country, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Awabakal people. The bold, flowing red lines represent the lifeblood of the land—rivers and pathways that ancestors have traversed for thousands of years. The intricate dot work and patterns convey the diversity and complexity of the natural landscape, from the rolling hills to the vast plains. The contrasting colours and swirling forms symbolise the dynamic forces of nature and the deep spiritual connection the Awabakal people maintain with their surroundings. This piece serves as a reminder of the resilience and enduring presence of Aboriginal culture in the region, capturing the essence of a land that is both ancient and ever-changing.
