‘Southward, is a body of work conjured through Melbourne’s unified lockdown where I longed for my connection to country. Country has always been my escape and connection to my culture. Without it, I lost a sense of self and a way to revitalise my spirit. Those early mornings and long drives helped me to see what’s special about being on country, land that holds such a deep meaning to my ancestors. I look back now and realise how lucky I was.’
