The meaning of mandala comes from Sanskrit meaning “CIRCLE” Even though it may be dominated by other geometric shapes like squares or triangles, a mandala has a concentric structure. Mandalas offer balancing visual elements, symbolizing unity and harmony. The meanings of individual mandalas is usually different and unique to each mandala. For some, the goal of the mandala is to serve as a tool on one’s spiritual journey as it symbolizes cosmic and psychic order. For others, the mandala is used as a counter-balancing mechanism of one’s own psyche, (The spirit or soul) and a way for us to focus or meditate our way into becoming a whole person.

WARNING This item displays the names of some deceased members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait community. No offence is intended, however members of the Indigenous Australian community should be aware of its content if imagery or text associated with recently deceased members of their community does cause cultural harm or offence. BACK BY REQUEST 28 MARCH 2008 With the Australian Federal Government’s apology to the Stolen Generation on 13/2/08, I’ve seen quite a few ‘Sorry’ Tshirts doing the rounds. I like most of the designs I’ve seen, however I wanted to create something that highlighted the apology, but also points out that there’s a lot more things (both bad and good) that we can’t afford to forget. Enter the Sorry Cloud based on Tag Clouds that you see on the web these days (see example here ) The basic premise is that sites tag news items and the cloud displays those tags in varying font sizes e.g. the more interest in a particular tag, the bigger the font. It gives people a quick way to see what’s big in the news at that particular time. My cloud is a representation of what I think should be most important. The tags are made up of issues, people and events. Some I consider to be important because they are issues that need to be tackled, others I have included as important because I think they should be celebrated. It was important to me that the cloud wasn’t just full of negative sentiment. I understand that this is highly subjective and many will agree or disagree. I don’t expect anyone to agree with every level of importance that I have assigned to each tag. Even as I was putting it together I struggled with how much weight to give some tags. I eventually decided that it started as a symbolic image and didn’t need to get too literal in it’s application. I also acknowledge that the tags that have made it to the final product are by no means an exhaustive list of issues/people/events. Again, it is simply a representative snapshot. Finally, I am new to redbubble and new to public political comment. I think the image is within the content guidelines, but am happy to be advised if this isn’t the case and will be happy to amend the design to conform if required. Also available on a Card

On Wednesday 13 February 2008, the Federal Australian government will begin the process of saying ‘sorry’ to our indigenous population. / Primarily for the forced removal of aboriginal children from their parents. These children were then put in orphanages or white foster families. / The individuals involved have come to be known as the ‘stolen generation.’ / This Government is the first one to agree to say ‘sorry’ for the events of the past which have permanently scarred relations between indigenous and european/celtic Australians. / It is considered by many to be vital to the healing process for all Australians. / I for one think it’s great.

Sorry for everything – 13-2-08

The Land of The Seed (L.o.T.S.) is a contemporary “Dreaming story” I wrote some years ago, and have “sat on” since then. / A few years ago, my artist friend Rose - originally from Sth Africa - agreed to do a series of charcoal-pencil sketches to compliment the written work. None have been shown in public, yet. / The images in the yellow circle (woman and man) are compiled from 2 of the 6 images done for the written work. / The overall design is based on the Aboriginal Flag hence the colours used. / So, here is one of my contributions towards “Reconciliation”, perhaps … a start of the Tjukurritja Tjukurrpa (sacred story) Land of The Seed … “Welcome to Country. My country, our Land of The Seed.”

I think it’s important to remember that whilst It’s good to celebrate living in Australia with all our diversities and cultures and freedom it’s just as important to acknowledge the ways in which we could change and grow. Saying “sorry” to the original Indigenous inhabitants of this country is the first of many important steps that must be taken in order for the healing of past and present wrongs to take place….when this is done we will truly be able to move forward and celebrate Australia day for all.

I actually found the quote in a history book in the Noosa library, when I was reserching my country – So it is even older than the rage against the machine song which I am also aware of . However text is so debatable as to where it’s origins come from – especially when it comes to music – it could have just sunk into my subconsious and then at a later date I write this passage thinking that it was my own original work, even so in the case of literature and music there is the 10% law (sampling) . But in this case I was aware of a the origin of the text I used and it was a book which was over 100 years old.

Mayoorr is a word used by the Bardi ‘Saltwater’ people meaning natural permanent fish trap. The Bardi people are from the Dampier Peninsula situated around 200 kilometres north-east of Broome, Western Australia. They are coastal people who have looked to the land, open waters, tidal flats and mangrove creeks for thousands of years for food, law and traditions. Even to this day Bardi people continue to practice their culture and to live this way of life. Each print is in 5 seasons: Summer,Winter,Spring,Autumn,and Monsoon (Black-White).
