The young warrior is coming of age where he would traditionally be put through Law or the Rules. However due to his disconnection to culture and not being allowed to continue his traditions, those words are now behind him. The young warrior is surrounded by the language of his past and is trying to gain his spiritual connection to that language. He does this through song and dance. Though the generations before him have lost connection his ancestors help him, guiding him through dance and songs. He now hears the old people in his dreams and feels his language. He is now Always Strong - Durrur Yarruwala. https://www.wiradjuriwave.com/gallery-1/ancestorsfootprints monthly 0.5 2021-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e41b2ba294f21e811881a9/1625622847806-PKPU7SZRY0R5UITKNHA7/LwC+work.jpg Gallery - In our Ancestors Footprints In our Ancestors foot prints: Painted originally this was a design for a bucket hat for the program I work on called Lead with Culture. The middle circles represent each of us carrying knowledge we have learnt from others with us and how the are like tiny drops in a puddle expanding. The next circle represents walking in our ancestors footsteps across our countries and the final circle is the ancestors that have past on still living through us because they have shared their stories with us for many generations https://www.wiradjuriwave.com/gallery-1/cant-have-rainbows monthly 0.5 2021-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e41b2ba294f21e811881a9/b64469c7-95ba-4ccf-9855-ffc4610039ca/Boomalli_Peta-Joy+Williams-6887_1.jpg Gallery - Can't have Rainbows without Rain You can’t have rainbows with out rain.

It is aimed at our written language being art not words. The Whale in the middle depicts Sydney rock engravings, and how they were created to be viewed by the Ancestors. The designs around the whale represent many nations of different languages and cultures coming together in Sydney and acknowledging the Eora Nation’s country. As Wiradjuri Woman I feel honored to live on Eora Country and Acknowledge it every day https://www.wiradjuriwave.com/gallery-1/yinaa monthly 0.5 2021-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e41b2ba294f21e811881a9/1627984778634-G9IO38S3PBTEFISKPMYA/The+Lamp_SharonHickeyPhotos-8857.jpg Gallery - Yinaa (Woman) Yinaa means woman in Wiradjuri. In culture women are the pinnacle of everything we are.

The business sending these is the exclusive copyright holder of our flag are also the same company that was exposed for selling fake Aboriginal Art made overseas. Yet another example of Non-Aboriginal People stealing from our people. I’d be more than happy to offer Uncle Harold Thomas royalties from using his design however I would not be happy paying a non-Aboriginal business a cent for my work. The Flag is of our people, for our people. The reason for the Words NO VOICE is also based around the rights of exposing the truth which the ABC were recently raided for, we as Australians have no voice in our country and less right than we are lead to believe https://www.wiradjuriwave.com/gallery-1/2-spirits monthly 0.5 2021-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e41b2ba294f21e811881a9/1626413844497-TR82E19B0WJ5OXBE25RZ/2+spirits.jpg Gallery - 2 Spirits 2 Spirits: Inspired by my trip to America late last year I was fortunate enough to be on a Cultural exchange while I was there I was told about the 2 spirit esel snx̣pew̓s (Sailish for 2 souls). A person that is a man who can be a woman or a woman who can be a man. I met a 2 spirit who gave me some very inspirational words which were very personal and I'll hold dear to my heart. This piece is a reflection of what those words meant to me.
