ARTIST STATEMENT
Captured on Yumba Nunhi, the land of my people, the Jangga people, through my ancestors, Pompey Earl and Emily ‘Earl’ Nicol (Nana). The footage was taken on a significant camping trip with my family. This was our first-time setting foot on the land where our Nana grew up. This experience gave me new knowledge of my Nana’s life as a young Aboriginal woman in the 1920s and helped my family come together and experience a deeper connection to land which are discussed in the film. This work is to share my Nana’s journey interwoven with my own journey of identity.
ARTWORK PROCESS
During the 2022 June holidays my family travelled to my Nana's country. During this time I captured conversations of family talking about Nana and footage of us all being in country for the first time.
