2024 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards

Finalist for 2024 at the Museum and Art Gallery of Northern Territory (MAGNT)

Take me home offers a glimpse into my grandmother, one of the strong women who raised me and the Country that flowed through her soul and veins. My grandmother carried her woven bag across many decades on Country. Her bag becomes a threshold to the beyond, holding the gateway to the surreal, where the rules of existence bend and sway. A portal between worlds, a little vessel that held the weight of the world, containing her maps and childhood memories.
