我的艺术创作是在重返那些对我成长至关重要的地方中，寻找自我。如今，我终于有时间去回望自己的旅程，构建一个关于“曾经”与“当下”的叙事。这片土地的原住民是 Wotjobaluk 人，欣达玛什湖（Lake Hindmarsh）被他们称为 Gurru——袋鼠之意。Gurru 是一个至今仍在流传的创世神话的一部分。传说中，祖先袋鼠 Purra 被糖袋鼯 Doan 追猎。当 Purra 向北跳跃，拖着他那条巨大的尾巴时，便形成了 Barringgi Gadyin，即维默拉河（Wimmera River）的一部分。他最终停下来进食，把地上的草都吃光了，那片土地就变成了湖——Gurru。而今天，这片湖泊已经干涸。
My art is about discovering myself by going back to places that were important to me growing. I now have time to reflect on my journey. I am creating a narrative of what was is now. The owners of the land, the Wotjobaluk people, Lake Hindmarsh is known as Gurru the kangaroo. Gurru is part of the creation story that is still told today. Purra, the ancestral kangaroo, was being hunted by Doan, the sugar glider. As Purra hopped northward, dragging his great tail, he formed part of the Barringgi Gadyin or Wimmera River. He at last stopped to feed and ate the ground bare of all grasses. This became the lake: Gurru. Today the lake is dry.
