ARTWORK STORY
(From the Invasion Day series and Wildflowers series.)
Syron juxtaposes the beautiful landscape with the atrocity of a hanged aboriginal man amongst the gum trees.
Redcoats and Squatters often hung Aboriginals to scare and drive whole groups of Aboriginal people away from their land. This was part of colonisation, the clearing of the trees, wildlife and Aboriginals.
