I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where I work and live, the mumirimina of the Oyster Bay Nation, and the ongoing custodians of this land, the palawa people. I further pay my respects to Elders past and present. I celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of all communities who also work and live on this land. As a privileged non-Aboriginal artist, I acknowledge both the traditional owners and ongoing custodians of the land and any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people living and working on the land, a land of which is the source and inspiration of much of my work.
