Collected over 15 years nearly all of these pictures in this exhibition have been donated to Wesley College through the

generosity of former students.

The exhibition is a visual description of one of the oldest landscapes, as seen and described by our First Nations artists, a people who have lived here for over 60,000 years.

Surveying the exhibition, you might consider works through the lens of different styles including Abstract, Post-Colonial,

Ethnographic, Contemporary or even Naif style. There are elements of these styles in all the works but what they have in common is a desire to tell the story of their connection to the sometimes harsh country that has sustained them, a connection to ancestors and a need to keep passing on traditions. The artists include; George Ward Tjungurrayi, Paddy Fordham Wainburranga, Freddie Timms, Boxer Milner, Paddy Fordham plus others.
