THE ARTIST AND STORY OF OUR DEEP DIVE:
An Aboriginal peice designed by Holly Ryan - Kutjarra Designs.
"The main focal point of this piece is the sort of 'wave/ripple' pattern in the centre. This represents the lifestyle and business of the barrier reef, alongside the many families, species and ecosystems that live there, shown through the white symbols that mean "mother/family". Through the outside of this ripple pattern, the darker blue symbols that mean "family, adult and child" are representing us, as humans, appreciating the barrier reef from a distance. This piece ultimately aims to prove that when we are respectful of our environment and admire from afar, we can all live in harmony together."
About Holly Ryan, Kutjarra Designs:
Holly Ryan is a merging First Nations artist from the Mornington peninsula, VIC, who has had a passion for art since she was a little girl. Holly has recently started
showcasing her indigenous art to the public in order to learn and connect with
a culture that was taken from her, with the stolen generation forcing her
family to not know their heritage and tribe. They do know that, Hollys great
grandfather was ‘Jo Johnson’, the first indigenous man to play AFL. She uses
her passion for her culture and painting to express her emotions through
intuitive paintings on canvas, wood and digitally. Holly has worked with
various small indigenous owned businesses, and local netball clubs to bring more
awareness to indigenous rounds, and indigenous culture in her community.
