My body of work, “May we walk gently on this land”, is a postcolonial ceramic representation of the impacts that British colonisation has had on the Australian landscape. The stylised depiction of vibrant coral contrasted by the dull colonial symbols reveals the degradation of the Great Barrier Reef, being one ecosystem of many in Australia that is heavily impacted by anthropogenic factors. Once a thriving ecosystem under Indigenous management practices, but has since deteriorated as a result of Aboriginal oppression.
