Have Aboriginal Art in Your Home
Their are many galleries online to purchase original Aboriginal artworks but for many of us the cost of a painting can be prohibitive. Some artists choose to share their stories through the medium of prints, posters and other items. You will find some examples on this page but I also encourage you to look further. I hope this lens is a starting point for further research into Australian Aboriginal Art for your home.
What It Means To Be Aborignal
To be Aboriginal goes a lot deeper than you may think.... Being Aboriginal is not something learned from a book or even a religion learned from a church ...BUT a way of life. We MUST be kept free to be what we are, and will come to know and feel it sooner or later...it's not in our heart, brain, skin or any other part of the body...it's in our spirit, and it's that which pushes us to learn the ways of our Ancestors and to be one with the land, as the land is born in every fibre of our being.This is a topic that has been around for a long time, especially with the aboriginal in custody. No Aboriginal should ever put themselves in a situation where they will be put behind bars and locked away from the land...it's like cutting off our own feet.
I am often asked why I am so passionate and proud to be an aboriginal, and what about my white herritage? I tell them this simple thing " Yes I have white blood too...BUT my spirit/soul is Aboriginal"...
NO...Being aboriginal is not a religion in any sense of the word...it's the way we are born.
