Eternal Flame

This painting is inspired by the 2024 NAIDOC theme “Keep the Fire Burning! Blak Loud & Proud”. Traditionally, fire is used as a tool to care for Country. It maintains balance, its smoke cleanses and the charred earth promotes healthy, new growth. From hurt comes hope. As the name says, of represent the figurative “eternal flame” of Australia. Meaning that the flame, the strength of this country and its history and the pride we have for it, should never be extinguished.
