From Whence we Came

From Whence we Came

Debbie Taylor-Worley

An investigation into the colonial frontier and the relationships formed between the artists ancestors, both wadjin (white women) and yinarr (Gamilaraay women) delineated by their relationships to the land and water.

Working across textiles, ceramics, and photography, Debbie Taylor-Worley juxtaposes colonial and indigenous histories, celebrating the enduring strength of all women in her family. Though once dis-empowered, they live today as conveyors of both colonist and Aboriginal pasts.
