About the Puzzle Artwork by Norm Yackaduna
My painting depicts sovereignty over our traditional land through the lines that represents sky, earth and water. The figures are painted in the style of my great great grandfather Yackaduna in which our people are doing corroboree and teaching song lines. The designs on the chair represents the possum skin cloaks that were worn. The background tells the story of Dhungala (Murray River) system and the kidneys (Moira lakes and Barmah lakes). The three rivers meet at the junction known as Echuca, which means meeting of the waters. The painted face connects me to my tribe Kwat Kwat.
