Artwork Story

Freshwater Saltwater is inspired by the journey my family and I made between Collarenebri, in Kamilaroi Country, and Redfern in Gadigal Country. My ancestral ties to Kamilaroi Country, where my family lived before moving to Redfern in the 1960s, are central to this work, reflecting the movement between Country and City that has shaped our lives.

In this piece, the pathway lines trace the routes we travelled, connecting places of significance along the way. The colours capture the changing landscapes between freshwater and saltwater — from the rivers and plains of Collarenebri to the urban environment of Sydney. I’ve included gathering places and community kin to honour the people, connections, and stories that accompany this journey, celebrating the bonds of family and community that persist across generations and distance.

Through these elements, Freshwater Saltwater explores memory, movement, and the enduring connections between place, people, and culture. The work invites viewers to reflect on journeys of belonging, the blending of Country and City, and the ways in which Aboriginal identity is carried, shared, and transformed across landscapes.
