I first met Larry Gurruwiwi in 2014 when I visited Arnhem Land to film the Westwind documentary.  It really was life changing experience. I was really chuffed when recently I received a message from Larry asking me to make a new vibration graphic to help promote the crowdfunding for his new film and European tour. Please check out @morningstardocumentary and follow @larrygurruwiwi to get involved I love this promo video - Larry’s smile is life giving. So cool to see strong proud Yolngu traveling the world sharing their power. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Manymak! ✌️ https://www.instagram.com/ghostpatrol/p/BxbvpkZHB3U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7qfekxyt0t9n

It’s the final evening to check out @enlighten_canberra Warmest thanks to my team for making this happen. It still feels a bit unreal. It was a challenging surface to work with but I’m really happy with how it turned out. Thanks again to @hugomichellgallery @blackartprojects @visit_australian_parliament @the_electric_canvas + Rebecca and Justine at DPS. ————— Standing in front of Parliament House at various times over the past 10 years I have experienced moments of deep thought about the strains placed on the peoples and lands of Australia caused by the fractured leadership of our government. So, I’m casting a spell over Parliament House to guide the ship forward by way of artwork. Focusing on the unity and connection of all people by acknowledging injustices (First Australians, the environment, immigration and issues of equality) my drawing projects an optimistic and bright future - one that counteracts the divisive actions of our elected leaders, both historic and current, as a shield of positivity over the entrance to the centre of power in this country.

Tasmanian Time Traveller Opens on Fri. March 22nd 6-8pm and runs all weekend at The Long House - 6 Evans St Hobart.

NITV will be airing ‘Westwind: Djalu’s Legacy’ on Sunday the 2nd of December at 8.30pm. You can also grab the DVD via @madmanent or stream via iTunes. I’m so happy to see this documentary going further out into the world.  It was a long process to get the film to this stage, but also the most rewarding and life changing project that I’ve been part of. Being invited into the family and visiting the remote island homelands with Djalu is something that I think about almost daily. Since the film debuted last year at the Melbourne International Film Festival - Djalu, Larry and the Gurruwiri family have been going really well, touring their Yidaki exhibition from @southaustralianmuseum to the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field in Japan, with a performance with our brother @goma_offical Big love to @benstrunin for brining it all together And beautiful photos from the lovelt @sorensolkaer @nitv_au https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq0dBQMF1yj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=23zg6jos292b

This week - I’m going to post some images of my exhibitions with @hugomichellgallery from the past 10 years to celebrate the 10th birthday of Hugo Michell Gallery.

Big love to Hugo, Ceridwen, Jenna, Harriet and all then HMG artists. 🧡💜💛💙💚 This image is from my ‘Spaceship of the Mind’ in 2015 https://www.instagram.com/p/BqeZFLoloPb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mu099wzsph1b
