Description

"On Wiradjuri Country, scared tree carving was used as markers for ceremonial sites, burials and tribal boundaries.

Intricate line works where carved into the tree trunks.

Bark was also removed from the trees leaving a scar on the trunk for the purposes of making canoes, shields and coolamons.

These series of paintings start a with certain style of lines that lays the foundation of the pattern.

The foundation lines represent: Connection, Regrowth, Boundaries

The pattern itself represents my cultural of the past, present and the future."

— Cara Shields
