Found a print at the op shop of a classic Australian artwork, The Pioneer and did a little rework.
The original 3 piece artwork by Frederick McCubbin shows a family settling into the Australian bush and is used to reflect the rising sense of Australian Identity after Federation in 1901.
I wanted to rework this story and show that before colonisation, there was already over 250 nations when Australia was “established”. These nations are still here today. The bush always has and always will hold the spirits of our ancestors and our culture. 🙏🏽
