ARTWORK STORY

I don't paint dots. My strength in painting is political, I use satire and raw imagery to send a message that Australian History has left out the Aboriginal people and their stories. 


Art is a way to convey and tell these stories. By turning around the picture for instance to dress Aboriginal people in Redcoats and black boots and have naked white people holding spears on the shore when the first fleet arrived- The Black Bastards Are Coming' well it makes people understand and see history in a different way.
