Between The Silence and the Heartbeat (ii)Bronze and reclaimed wood, life size, 2021-23. “Between The Silence and the Heartbeat is about indifference to Indigenous deaths within “white” Australia; whether it is in police custody, suicide, the gap in health care or being deliberately targeted. The senseless deaths must stop. Indigenous Australians have been here for over 60,000 years. The heartbeat of the People is the heartbeat of Country. It is time for the silence about these deaths to end; it is time for us all to take a stand.” | Between The Silence and the Heartbeat (ii)Bronze and reclaimed wood, life size, 2021-23. “Between The Silence and the Heartbeat is about indifference to Indigenous deaths within “white” Australia; whether it is in police custody, suicide, the gap in health care or being deliberately targeted.

Mankamankarana- Seven Sisters, with collaboration and support from Carly Dodd, 2022.In-situ at Ovingham, SA. A group of seven girls were digging and collecting grubs, yams, and fruits upon the Womma (Celestial Plains). Many stories upon the Womma talk about how we care for our brothers and sisters, animals and plants, how we are all connected to the spirit world and all things. The sculpture portrays one of the sisters with a coolamon where she will place the gathered food. Her sisters surround her as the stars of the Pleiades Constellation. | Mankamankarana- Seven Sisters, with collaboration and support from Carly Dodd, 2022.The sculpture portrays one of the sisters with a coolamon where she will place the gathered food.
