Land Before My Time, 2023 acrylic on canvas 30 x 30 cm $ 300raw pine float frame
'The country we live on and walk today is not the same country my ancestors lived and walked, and as time has passed since then, green turns brown and the blue burns dry, but the spirit of my people before me still shine light over the mountains, flow through the trees, surf the water, and give life from the air we breathe.'
Initiated in 2011, St Heliers Correctional Centre's Gundi Program supports inmates by strengthening their experience of culture, gaining vocational skills and employment, and re-establishing their lives once they leave custody. Artwork from the Gundi Program are presented in partnership with St Heliers Correctional Centre in the gallery store alongside the work of other local artists.
