‘Ngayuku Manta Ngayuku Wangka (My land, my voice) is my first show after the 2023 referendum.
It’s full of works filled with emotions dealing with the hurt, sadness that First Nations people were feeling after October 14. The more I painted and dealt with what happened. I painted the love and hope that 6.2 millions Australia that voted yes with us.
I painted the love and hope and drive I saw and felt with Aunty Pat Anderson and Megan Davis, during the last 7 years of getting the Uluṟu statement to the referendum. Turning the maybes into yes, sitting in tough conversations and stepping it through and all the time staying true to the Uluṟu Statement.
I painted the love, strength and ambition of my elders and leaders, whom after all the negativity of the last year are still ambition and courageous to strive for more for our remote and regional communities. Because everyone deserves a safe space to work especially woman.
These works on the VOTE YES corflutes are a love letter to everyone that stood with us last year. So thank you all.’
