Reconciliation - Its NOT my job
56 x 46 cm Raffia- natural and hand dyed, recycled glass stone, waxed thread, 2025.
This work was born from my frustration with government systems that continue to oppress, control and dictate to us as Aboriginal people. This woven work is an organic tower, filled with polished white recycled glass, representing the mountain of "white privilege" that we as Aboriginal people have to climb daily. The piece although organic has been made to look heavy in response to the weight we as Aboriginal people carry. The reflective, mirrored element of the work encourages viewers to take responsibility and start walking with us on this journey.
