Artwork Story

This painting is a representation of my childhood. The animals like the eel, plain turkey, emu, and brim were my means of food sources growing up as a child in the 1960s.

The lines are a representation of my culture, straight and clear. The colours represent the type of soil from my Country. White is for water and life. Yellow is for the sun. Brown is for my skin. The dots represent many, many mini tribes, languages, and customs.

Note: Wesley Williams is not a Gulf artist, but his artwork is part of the Wes Williams Collection at Ancient Journeys. These paintings showcase his country, Cherbourg, Queensland.
