An ongoing theme through my work is remembering—remembering the past to better understand the present and future.
The Commonwealth Coat of Arms is a symbol that represents many manifestations of colonisation: theft, dislocation, dispossession and loss. In this video I have reclaimed the Commonwealth Coat of Arms, re-working a visual icon of Australian identity to include a representation of Aboriginal Australia. The work asks the viewer to ‘remember’ the true history of Australia.
