RECONCILIATION                            

Artist:  Edna Watson                                  

 Edna Watson is a Darug elder whose paintings  have been recognised in Australia and overseas.

In this work Edna expresses the various groups who have come to Australia with the original Aboriginal people in the centre of the circle of reconciliation. Reconciling hands point inwards and outwards.

Earth colours dominate with the central circle showing a broken earth, symbolic of the current drought and the unfinished process of reconciliation.
