Connection to Country

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island People have a Connection to Country (Australia) that has been forded over thousands of years of affiliation with the land and sea. That has been demonstrated through endless years of accent practices of hunting and gathering, ceremony, oral history telling and caring for the country. This connected First Nations People to the land in an interwoven existence and not just living upon it.

This land is our inheritance that has been passed down from generation to generation and is the birthright of every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island person. With this birthright comes a responsibility to continue to practice traditional lore, culture and Connection to Country that is still ongoing today. In this modern day it is also the responsibility of all Australians to learn to care for this country.

The inspiration for the narratives I create through my artworks come from the landscape, environment or surroundings which I am in, the people I am with and the experiences I encounter.

Connection to Country

Alison Simpson

My name is Alison Simpson (yalidyan – my Wiradjuri name). I am a Wiradjuri woman from central NSW as well as Wemba Wemba from northwest VIC and am culturally connected to many other places. I currently live and work on Djiriganj & Thaua countries within the Yuin nation where I have done so on and off over the past 25 years.

I commenced my artistic journey in 2013 where I started painting for therapeutic reasons and have done so in my spare time ever since. I have a brother and sister who are also Aboriginal artists. My artworks are considered as contemporary, and I generally use acrylic paints on canvas. My artworks are often quite bright using an array of different colours.

The inspiration for the narratives I create through my artworks come from the landscape, environment or surroundings which I am in, the people I am with and the experiences I encounter.
