About the Artwork

This artwork tells the story of my Nana Jenny throwing gold back into the creeks it was taken from, from my country - Wulwulam in the NT. Back in the day, our creeks were pillaged for gold, and this upset my people greatly. My nana had had enough, and she would sneak into the miner camps at night, take the gold and throw it back into the rivers where it belonged. Eventually, she was caught and sadly arrested. My artwork shows the different camps along the river systems that my nana would sneak into.
