This is just about finished. It is my representation of MaRauaRa (meaning ‘two fingers beside’), the junction of the Darling (Paaka) and Murray (Millewa) Rivers. This is such an important site, not just because of it’s environmental and historic significance, but it’s cultural significance as well: Nearby is the largest prehistoric Aboriginal burial ground in NSW, which was used for 12,000 years until European contact. I want to record a lot of these sites through my art.
