Yoorook Truth Telling - A Personal Story, 2025
synthetic polymer paint on canvas
86 x 66 x 2.5 cm

This continues the series honour our women who have woven and continue to weave stories. It is painted by stick on a canvas rolled with paint left over from a previous canvas with a very dirty roller. This creates a texture that adds to the painting and creates additional story.

In the grey section moving right to left you will see the colonial story needing to do truth telling -- the church, institutions, children and a mother, the queen and in the far left an Elder with children. There are also several settler buildings dotted across this space.

In the river below is a portrait of me (which came out of the roller application) representing the cleansing of truth like water when it flows through Country.
