Tracker

Size - 40cm 

Medium - Canvas, Plaster, Acrylic

This piece is inspired by my latest piece of "Tracker Riley". This piece honours and recognises all trackers past and present and the continuing connection First Nations people have with the land. 

The skills of trackers were drawn from bush and hunting knowledge held by Aboriginal groups throughout NSW. A good tracker could pick up the smallest change in the landscape and quickly work out in which direction a person or animal was moving.

The ochre colours and dots represent the different tracks/terrain of the red dirt Country's across Australia.
