I wish to acknowledge and pay my respects to the Traditional Owners, the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin nation, as the Custodians of the land in which I live, create and gain my inspiration from. I pay my respects to all Aboriginal community Elders, past, present and emerging and note that sovereignty was never ceded and a treaty not made. I extend my deepest gratitude and respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who engage with my work.
