Scott Towney Aboriginal Artist

Wiradjuri artist Scott Towney has some amazing art. A 'backyard' artist, specialising in drawing and pyrography, Scott has an delivered brilliance in his own style, creating art from an Indigenous perspective.  His art is on show around Australia as part of the NSW Premiers Indigenous Art Awards Finalists and in various other commissioned work Scott has completed. This is a wood-burning piece or best referred to as pyrography, Scott did for the NSW Premiers Art Awards in 2011. It is still 'raw' at this early stage and not fully complete. NSW Aboriginal artists have a contemporary style to their artwork, evident in this style of pyrography. The technique Scott uses is simply different pressures to get lighter or darker strokes by the wood-burner onto the selected wooden 'canvas'.

Apology by PM 4 Years on Means Nothing

‎4 Years after the "Apology" and the chorus of "Sorry" is now an excuse to say "Move On!" The Apology came with no changes, no policy, no repatriation or re-connection plan, no convictions, no funding & no planning for the future. Words mean nothing if there is no action to support it. MAJOR FAILURE! It is terrible to continue such a degrading policy. Since the Intervention, the suicide rates in females has doubled. That is since the so called protection of our females in the community. Something is not right and the continued oppression of people in all communities will cause further harm, not good.
