ARTWORK

Coastal Connections artwork by Holly Sanders

Holly Sanders is a proud Bundjalung woman from the North Coast of NSW, Australia. She currently lives and works as a teacher and artist on Yuin and Dharawal Countries. Through her art she aims to share her stories, culture and Country in a contemporary way. 

Painting and maintaining cultural traditions is important for her identity, wellbeing and expresses the way she understands and respects her culture, ancestors and Country. She always looks to Country- the land, sky and the waters- and uses these images, stories and memories to paint. The patterns of Country at different times of the day and year influence heavily in her art.

Holly honours the continuing connection Bundjalung, Yuin and Dharawal people have to the land and acknowledges the stories, traditions and living cultures of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the oldest and longest continuing culture on the planet. 

Artwork Meaning 

This artwork is a celebration of vibrant Saltwater Country and is a reminder of our connection to the land and sea, our cultural obligations, and the vital role that mangroves and estuaries play in particular.

The circular designs scattered across the artwork represent the many sacred places that dot our coastline, each holding its own story and connection to our ancestors and old people. For saltwater people, this country is more than a place; it is our lifeblood, our old people, our history, and the keeper of our stories. 

The meeting place symbols throughout the work symbolise the gatherings that have always taken place on these coastal areas. Connecting us to each other and to the land and ocean Country that sustains us.

The flora patterns and intricate lines represent the mangroves and their root systems. They symbolise resilience, interconnectedness, and the vital role mangroves play in sheltering and nurturing life. Mangroves can be seen as the 'mothers' of the sea, providing a safe haven for new life to flourish. This represents protection, nurturing, and the cycle of life and regeneration. 

This artwork serves as a reminder of the intrinsic value of these delicate saltwater ecosystems and our ongoing cultural responsibilities to protect them. We sing to the sea, our ceremonies honour its spirits, and we teach our jarjums (children) the importance of listening to Saltwater Country and its whispers.
