Grieving
Original is, cast-iron statue of Aboriginal woman on rock; at Colebrook Reconciliation Park on Shepherds Hill Road, Eden Hills, Sth Australia. It is part of a tribute monument (31 May 1998), on the site of the original Colebrook Home for Aboriginal Children 1943-1972, commissioned by Colebrook Tji Tji Tjuta Dreaming Committee, with assistance from the Blackwood Reconciliation Group.
[I have applied texture and tonal effects to my original photograph, for emphasis and effect.]

It does indeed. I’ve been saying for weeks to take a walk over to those carvings. I still will, but your artwork certainly displays it all very well!

excellent work… and it is a special place – for many peole would not know that 350 Aboriginal children were taken from their families under government policies of the day, and placed into this specific home.
Crowmanic replied
Thanks for commenting Jim … and yes many would not know, nor will many even want to, though it would seem that you and I and a minority about, will, and that’s what matters to people such as I. Thanks… and cheers.

I have a profound liking for this sort of naturalistic iron cast statues….
I love them… I would caress her until I could warm the metal and then be able to mkae her soul return to her grieving heart.
I am in rage for all that have been done to aboriginal cultures… not in your country but in all.. I prey for respect and love for them… bio.diversity is much more than beautiful words.. it is a need for human race.
Rosa (beautiful textures…. I love your new icone too. Thanks a lot for your kind comments)
