What Miss Said

Acrylic on canvas
45 x 91cm

This painting is about the school system regarding the education
of Indigenous culture. I once had a child say to me “oh you are
aboriginal. I have learnt about this in class, so do you travel
from the woods everyday?” All of the other students thought the
same. This changed the way I saw Aboriginal education, they are
keeping us stuck in the past and ignoring our evolution as people
today and as people tomorrow.
