Indigenous Curator Shannon Brett sat down with Waanyi artist Gordon Hookey earlier this year on Yuggera Country (Brisbane), ahead of his exhibition at UNSW Galleries, A MURRIALITY, which opened this past week.
At the time Hookey explained: ‘Everything we do is part of the greater story of us.’
Brett described: ‘While sipping my tea, I gazed at his epic paintings covering his grand studio walls and I realised that the story of Gordon Hookey living “Aboriginal Way” in this place is not only the story of First Nations people, it is also the story of Australia.’
