Currents

Currents is a representation of the shift in learning, rediscovering culture, thinking and knowing through FirstNations lens. I have worked in Aboriginal and Torres StraitIslander Education for over 12 years across several schools on Ngunnawal Country and have supported and observed overdue change in how Educators approach learning about and through First Nations cultures and our shared history. I hear talk about our identity and our knowledges in present tense, I see respect for our cultures through the lens of our stories and I feel a shift in attitudes and confidence in FirstNations perspectives and knowledges highlighted in everyday learning. The currents of change are flowing, the ripple effect is reaching further than before, and with this, my own knowledge and connection to my culture and my identity grows stronger every day.

Leah Brideson

I am Leah. I am an Aboriginal woman born in Canberra, ACT. My mob are Kamilaroi from my Grandmothers country in the Gunnedah region. I am a self-taught Contemporary Aboriginal Artist and began painting at a very young age. I have been painting in a professional capacity for over 7 years.

"Art is such an important platform to share my culture with the wider community. My art is like a 'visual yarn', people really connect with the stories and meaning behind the work".

A great deal of my artistic vision and inspiration comes from the changing landscapes in my home town, on country and from my journeys to ocean country and beyond. I use layers of fine dotting, line work, colour gradients, Aboriginal symbolism and my signature style of 'cracked earth' landscape throughout my paintings. Kamilaroi country is often dry and cracked, but rich and deep in history, culture and story as represented by the space in between the cracked earth. I pay great attention to detail, natural patterns, light, shade and texture in the landscape.

My paintings often work between two perspectives; landscape and birds-eye view. Through a birds-eye view, I generally map the journeys in which I take, along with my ancestral and cultural ties. As I learn more about my culture and discover my ancestors’ footprints in the landscape, I feel the urge to paint my story, my sense of place.
