Small Boxes

Well, it's not flowers, and it's not animals. 
It's not flattering, and it's not comfortable.
It's a sketch which is intended to illustrate constriction. The kind of squashing that happens when you try to fit a person into a tiny little box under one neat label. It's a response to being labelled, categorised, boxed, being put into a field that could never fit everything that a person is, and that really says very little about them - and says a whole lot about the person applying the categories.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners and First People of the land on which I stand, who are collectively known as the Southern Yamatji People. I pay my respects to the Elders past, present and future, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of the Southern Yamatji People.
I would also like to specifically acknowledge the Naaguja and Wilunya people from amongst the collective group of Southern Yamatji People and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. The Naaguja and Wilunya Peoples are the Traditional Owners and First People of the place I have made my home and where I make my art.
