Artist: Holly Sanders:

Contemporary Aboriginal Artist, Holly Sanders, is a proud Bundjalung woman from the North Coast NSW who is currently based in Yuin Country, South Coast NSW.

Artwork:

This work represents the importance of sand environments on saltwater Country. Sand environments around the ocean and estuaries provided and abundance of wild food where there were always plenty of resources to share. The passing on of knowledge about Country to the younger generation is an important tradition and sand paintings was a common art form in coastal areas, where coloured sands were used to create temporary picture and story that was then washed away by the next high tide.
