KANE BRUNJES
The statue

2023
acrylic on canvas
20 x 25cm

This work was painted in thought of the Knowledge holders who speak for Country. The Spear, Nulla Nulla, and Boomerang center to the piece is symbolic of the protection given by those who have cared, and continue to care for Country, and the stories they hold.

The mountains in the distance to the left of the piece are glowing, inviting the viewer in, posing the question of whether to travel in or not. This represents the opportunity to receive and accept stories of truth or not.
