The Australian, 2025

When you see me; do you see a Northman or an Aboriginal Australian? When you hear me speak; do you hear a countryman or a Saxon? When you find out I am part the other, does your perception change? Do you treat me differently? I am not homogeneous. I am a blend of cultures.

The Australian is a spiritual self portrait of that depicts both my Aboriginal and European cultural ancestry, both of which have had an influence on who I am today. In this piece I’ve aimed to challenge the complexity around personal cultural identity, social perceptions and assumptions, as well as what it is to be Australian.
