Australian Footsteps |
 This page is currently under construction. Please come back soon and hopefully this page should be updated. |
This series pays homage and celebrates all that is indigenous to Australia. Each artwork is influenced by traditional European art and indigenous Australian art and symbolically brings them both together in an aesthetic recognition of everything Australian. The tracks are the personal signatures left behind by our indigenous fauna and people. |
