My current project is looking deeper into this concept. Obviously this canvas is jam packed with symbolism and metaphor, and I’m wanting to unravel pieces and make more simplistic pieces.
The concept I’m absolutely gunning for is “food as the greatest genocidal weapon”. It looks at first nations Australians still being affected by the introduction of unhealthy food. The idea is that chronic illness (diet related) have killed more indigenous Australian’s than war, due to it still happening now, and only getting worse.
This problem is current, and my family are among the ones affected. My father has recently lost his legs because of diabetes that was completely preventable.
These pieces aren’t just pretty (or not so pretty) pictures, but they’re raising awareness for both indigenous and non-indigenous Australians.
I’ll post my updates on socials & here! X
