Artwork by Alison Elliott, The Dreaming, carving into red gum, painted and lacquered The artwork began with a dream when Alison was 16… she saw the images standing on the Creator Spirit with every aspect of life included on the Rainbow Serpents Path. The whole community is present, Elders, Women, Men, Children, Food Gathering, Hunting, Fire, Music and Play. The original vision was that it would be burnt into bark, but 22 years after that vision it was burnt into a piece of red gum, painted and lacquered and completed for NAIDOC week 2010. This piece fitted well with the Thematic Evaluation of the Graduate Certificate in Family Therapy as the course is all about bringing the families and communities back together.
