Movement and Flow delves into the timeless rhythms of Sea Country, echoing the ancestral pulse of hunting and gathering practices sustained for millennia. It’s a visual exploration of the profound, symbiotic relationship between land and sea, as witnessed and honoured by my Kabi Kabi ancestors along these shores. The presence of shell middens throughout the landscape stands as a testament to their enduring connection and stewardship, a tangible archive of generations intertwined with this vibrant ecosystem.
