Artwork Statement |
'I am accompanying Ruby on her journeys, as general dogsbody and photodocumentor. I'm photographing her journey back to her country, and documenting the Bundjalung people as they are now. It is a view through Aboriginal eyes and is a significant record of the Bundjalung people. All photographs have been taken with the full support and permission of both Ruby Langford, and her people.
This photodocumentation is a statement that this tribal group and its sub-clans exist - it is not hidden. It is their own statement that they do exist and each one who is photographed wants the others of the mob to see the photographs'. The artist 1990
