The Foyer in Warrnambool asked me if I could create a mural inspired by artworks that local Aboriginal secondary school students and residents of the Foyer created after a 3hr session with myself. I took elements from all the different artworks to create the new mural design which I titled. Please click on link to have explanation of artwork story “Rising Above”.
I am proud to have Warrnambool Primary School purchase the digital image of one of my artworks to become a mural displayed on the end of the art room building within the school. 'My Country, My Medicine', was chosen to represent the 2023 Naidoc week theme "For our elders'. The wording on the side of the mural reflects its message.
I also facilitated sessions with all classes to explain the deeper meaning behind the artwork and what everything represents. The children will create their own symbol artwork story that will also be displayed within the school as an extension activity from the mural.
