ARTIST STATEMENT :

“My artwork recalls the story of our home, our family and community. Through my work, I am aiming to protect the past and provide guidance to the future. We must preserve these images to keep the story telling alive and create a bridge between our life on the riverbank, collecting our food, digging for mussels, trapping fish, hunting for swan eggs and gathering fruits and herbal medicines. This art also preserves the memory of the old people who taught us to be Wamba. My identity is my country—my family and community is defined by my country, language and knowledge.”
