Provenance: The Collection of Gordon and Elaine Syron, NSW
Exhibited: Blackboy Creek, Cooee Aboriginal Art Gallery, NSW, July 2010
Artwork story: The tourists that visit Australian admire the Aboriginal culture and the rare Waratahs. Both are survivors in a harsh world that does not cultivate and nurture the remaining culture. There are small dark $$$$ coming out of the bottom of the Didge and they represent the white man's greed to reproduce the Didge and not respect the customs where it comes from. The Aboriginal fairies are from a series called "Do You Believe In Fairies" and it is from my fantasy and it gives our people hope and especially I paint the black fairies for Aboriginal children.
