Revir Ruhtra (she/her), Palawa
Arthur River, 2025
synthetic polymer paint, ochre and pigment on canvas
76 x 101 x 4 cm

This piece represents my connection to Country. I draw from the cultural memory and ancestral knowledge of the Palawa people, whose relationship with the land, rivers, and sky has shaped Lutruwita/Tasmania for tens of thousands of years.

The Arthur River flows through the heart of the Tarkine—a sacred boundary, a source of sustenance, and a spiritual pathway. It carries stories held in shell middens, hut depressions, and sacred sites—traces of life that refuse erasure.

Through installation, natural materials, and site-responsive processes, I explore the endurance of cultural connection despite colonisation and displacement. My work aims to make visible what has been buried: the spiritual presence of land, the intelligence of water, and the continuity of cultural practice that lives on through care, resistance, and renewal.

I see art as a way to listen—slowly, carefully—to the land’s memory. In doing so, I honour the ongoing custodianship of my Palawa community, and contribute to the long arc of reconnection between people and place.
