NEWS 2009 FINALIST
NEWS 2008 I was privileged to be asked by Beyond Empathy to participate in their '6 x 6 Artists Connecting Community Project' at Mooree, NSW. Where a group of urban non indigenous artists spent a week working a local indigenous artist, engaging in the local community and making a collaborative artwork for an exhibition that was held in the Mooree Plains Regional Gallery 2009 and later at Nicky Ginsberg Gallery, Sydney. My partner was Aunty Paula Duncan. Our final painting is in the right hand corner of the photo, we spent each morning with David Larwill, Aunty Margaret Adams and Ken McGregor with the inspiring young students from Mooree Public School, their dedicated teachers. The other urban artists were Garry Shead, Ian Marr, Adam Rish, Luke Sciberras, Johnathon Throsby, Greig Waite and William Yang. The other local indigenous artists were Aunty Ellen Draper, Uncle Bilo Priesley, Uncle Brent Beale, Aunty Joy Duncan and Aunty May Finch. Our time there was documented by photographer Wendy Kimpton and film maker Anna Cater.
