ARTIST STATEMENT
My traditional totem, the shovel nose shark is incorporated into this design. I am proud to be a female creating Art in the NPA with my culture. Shovel nose shark is my totem from my mother's side. Turtle is the totem from my father's side. My mother is Torres Strait Islander and my father is Aboriginal. I have also turned my artwork into a black and white lino print.
ARTWORK PROCESS
Artwork was created by using pencil drawing of totems and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patterns. Originally it was designed for the Northern Pride Football team but the competition got cancelled because of COVID19.
