ARTIST - JEMMA STEWART
From Jemma
I often create artwork surrounding topics of Aboriginal people and culture, as well as climate change and preserving nature through paintings. I use many materials to do this and create symbolism through colours, objects, and pictures which further helps me tell a story.
The Painting - Strength
This painting represents the strength that being on country can give, and the deep connection that gives a sense of peace.
The flowing water depicted in the centre of the painting symbolises growth and life, while the scattered fiery orange/red patches on the canvas serve as depictions of aboriginal traditions and culture.
The yarning circles dispersed on the canvas represent community and the support they provide.
