Nana’s Dreaming
Description:
Nana’s Dreaming’ reflects the significant role Elders play as guides, teachers, strength and support in our lives as Aboriginal people.
In my artwork, the sun represents the desert, important Country to many Aboriginal people, while the moon represents journeys made at night, often made possible through a deep understanding of the night sky.
The weaving track symbolises a travelling route and represents a story passed on from Elders and followed by generations of people.
The four meeting places represent family groups connecting and sharing resources found on the land.
The symbols of bush tucker reflect the important cultural knowledge about food sources passed down through generations by Elders, our knowledge keepers and teachers.
