This series of original artworks is inspired by the stories my Baagii (Nan) and her side of the family have passed down to my Guni (Mum) about living on the Namoi river. She often told stories of how much she enjoyed growing up on Namoi Reserve with her sisters, brothers and family. The colour palette and imagery in these four artworks have been directly inspired by the gums, foliage and patterns of gali (water), and also how being by the river makes us feel.
Title
Wabu which means river bend in Gamilaroi language.
Description
'Wabu' is an aerial view of the Namoi and Barwon rivers meeting. The green and cream colour palette is used to create a sense of serenity and calm. The line work is symbolic of water flowing. Smaller and larger figures are symbolised throughout this artwork, representing Elders passing on culture to generations by the river.
