Funnel Series / MAPPING MOBS (Language maps)
ARTIST STATEMENT
Mapping mobs (Language maps):
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people belong to many kinship groups. It is this complex kinship system directed by thousands of years of family interactions, marriage, moiety protocols and lore that allows us to understand where we fit into the matrix.
Which mob you belong to also dictates your understanding of language(s) with many speaking five or six languages before English. It is this entangled beauty of shared ancestry, history and story that these mob maps depict by region within our big beautiful Ngura.
