Full Journey
An origin story etched onto canvas. The Full Journey is an emergence, a becoming, a reckoning with knowledge, trauma, and transformation. It began in a time of deep immersion, nights spent listening to systems thinking and design podcasts, contemplating the real-world application of vast and complex ideas that revealed themselves alongside empty vodka bottles.
It marks a moment of recalibration, taking root inside safe circles and reflecting on the unexpected turns' life had taken after a "fresh start" away from dv cycles a phrase that barely encapsulates the weight of unimaginable trauma that can be seen once the whole system starts to show itself to you.
It became clear that the only way to represent the enormity of these experiences, the weight of history, and the relentless forward movement was through the continuous line, a way to chart and honour the moments that land, shift, and transform us.
The work became an exploration of what Indigenous art could mean to me, not as a static category, but as a space to carve out a path that felt true, that could hold and transfer energy safely, that could become a vessel for the big, untold stories.
