This is a collaborative artwork that explores Buchan’s reconciliation journey from now and aspirations into the future. The story of connecting artworks read as a timeline moving from left to right. The “journey” begins with the background of Country. The four textured layers represent the Water, the Land, the Flora & Fauna and the Sky. With the dotted pattern weaving through Country, connecting us to the Dreaming, our Ancestors and people. The six circular icons represent Buchan’s six Australian studios and the journey of cultural learning across all levels of business. The three archers represent knowledge being passed down and the receiving of knowledge. This represents knowledge within Buchan building and growing, as they move towards their first reconciliation action plan. As you move across the canvas the dotted pattern begins to connect studios with First Nations groups or individuals that have joined Buchan on their journey. The second canvas speaks to the aspirations for the RAP. The expanding star icon representing education. With the central core being the University and the knowledge that is held within, that is reaching out to connect First Nations people to higher education in the built environment profession. Moving up to the three tables icons that represent inclusion with Indigenous and non-indigenous people sitting at the table working together and sharing knowledge. The final icon is Buchan in the future, moving forward radiating the knowledge gained through their journey of reconciliation, reflection and education. To connect people, place, Country and culture in the future. This artwork is a living breathing piece of Country. Constructed using only 5 natural ochre paints, which are layered over the black textured gesso background. Of which the red, brown and yellow ochre were harvested from my property on Kombumerri Country and the white and purple ochre purchased from a gentleman’s collection that he had held on Country since 1963. The ochre was processed in the traditional way by crushing and mixing with rainwater and honey from my hives. The five ochres were then blended and mixed to create different tones and colours increasing the colour palette. A stabiliser was added, which allowed me to apply multiple layers over each other without them mixing together. This creates the rich depth in colour and texture, with the background and icons having anywhere between 6 to 15 layers of paint. With the depth of ochre paint across the artwork, will allow the colour to change with the seasons and the moisture in the air.
