About the design/artwork:This piece represents a long journey in becoming content in my life. It shows the balance of my life both back on Country in Warrnambool and the Bunurong land I am living on in Melbourne. It shows my friends and family who have been with me along the way, supporting me whilst I grow into the woman I am now. The surrounding meeting place symbolise the important places where I have learnt life lessons and shows those who were with me at those times. The animal tracks represent my connection to the land I am on and acknowledges the Traditional Owners.
About the artist:Merindah-Gunya (Bayley Mifsud) - Gundjitmara.
I am a proud Gundjitmara woman from the Eastern Maar Nation. Bayley was born and raised in Warrnambool, Victoria, where she started painting from a young age and learnt from her Elders about traditional storytelling through painting. Now she currently lives on Bunurong country in Melbourne, Victoria. "Creating art has allowed me to connect with my culture on a deeper level that I have experienced. I have been raised extremely connected within my community however through continuing a tradition through storytelling and art it has allowed me to continuously reflect and extend my knowledge and experiences as an Aboriginal woman."
