Elders

Description:

I have created this artwork about connection to Elders. The lower left circle shows Elders sitting together, telling stories which are then passed down for generations to come.

The four circles show different generations learning and sharing knowledge learnt from Elders.

Footsteps connect each generation showing how Aboriginal culture is kept alive.

Elders pass down knowledge about the land and waters, therefore the cool blue tones in the background represent water and waves.

I’ve also incorporated blue in the symbols to reflect Elders being calm and bringing peace to the family.

I have used smaller green dots blending with the background to represent the land.
