“The painting represents the Australian landscape as viewed from my window and speaks to ideas of 'home'. As a child I learned textile skills by watching my mother at her sewing machine. Later, I sat by the Barwon with Elders and learned ancient weaving practices. Home is divided between two places - one is Dharawal Country where I am a guest, the other is my Grandmother's ancestral home on Ngemba and Muruwarri Country. Home comes together; the ever-present Flying Foxes that inhabit the gums below Mt Keira and the suburban backyard are connected to my cultural ways of making and weaving.”
