CreatorAlison WilliamsTitleGurruja Ganggurrinyja (whale dream)Date2023MediumCeramicDimensionsH. 410mm x W. 550mm x D. 330mmArtist StatementThis dream involves the spiritual awakening of mankind. A dream where we stop believing we have the power and right to manipulate mother nature to serve our needs. A dream where we realise our continued existence depends on the respect and preservation of our land, waterways and all life on this planet. The human ego is out of control and allowing the destruction of our mother to obtain a false wealth and reinforce value systems that cannot be sustained.
I dream of a future where we embrace our place, our responsibility and spirit. Our spirit is calm, neutral, compassionate, understanding, and intuitive.Accession NumberG2023.5.1Access AdviceFor research purposes only. No reproduction without permission of Yarrila Arts and Museum.
