National An’ Them

Brand new series of landscapes addressing the poetry of Dorothy McKellar and Peter Dodds McCormick. The two pieces that ‘Australians’ hold so close to their sentiment. ‘I love a sunburnt country’ and ‘Advance Australia Fair’.

Also, creating a landscape using the ‘top end’ of the continent, purely to bring focus on the ‘proper-ness’ of Aboriginal culture. The go to place for tourism and the last bastion of tribalism. This series are parodies of ‘traditional’ Aboriginal art whilst addressing the ironies of colonisation.
