Curator’s notes
The Aboriginal women involved in this project effectively straddle two realities – one of the Christian faith and the other the Indigenous faith. The two religions come together in their interpretation of the Bible, and the way the project was conceived and carried out ensured a responsibility to both Indigenous and Western religious beliefs. Here we see the women outdoors getting familiar with colours, textures and shades, and being in close connection with the land. This sets up the possibility of bringing the land ‘out there’ into the interior of the church, making it the land ‘in here’, so to speak.
