Disconnected 2026 Acrylic on canvas 25.4 x 20.3cm x 4
The long-lasting impact of the stolen generations have had a hugely devastating effect on mob. My grandfather was stolen as a child and placed in the care of a foster family. This piece is based on a photo I found of him the 60s with his ‘siblings’. In the photo they are sitting on the bonnet of a ford next to each other. There is a clear gap between my grandfather and the other kids. Relating this to NAIDOC which is celebrating 50 years we still have a long journey ahead of us before First Nations peoples and cultures can be truly healed and embraced.
