"Land Rights" signed art print

Title: land rights
Size: 11x8


A kangaroo boxes a cow to reclaim his land. In the near distance an Aboriginal Elder tells her grandson about their land's songlines and to her right the child's father looks on; a generation lost to the sorrows of their people. Cutting across the landscape to sacred Ulruru is a road; a scar dissecting their songline. In the sky we see the clouds of sheep become clouds to rain tears of regret for the damage the hoof does to a land sold. In the same light we see the clouds of dust made by the cow, in contrast to the kangaroo who steps so lightly on this Land by hopping with soft paws.
