Iwiri

Iwiṟi artist, Melissa Thompson, has been working on her ceramics ‘Fisher of Men’.

She shares her story with us:

The net is broken, as fish are swimming around. This reminds us that as humans, there are too many problems and the fish escape, swim out from the broken net. We need to build a fresh and strong net together. Once it was palya (alright) but now the fish are swimming out and in, the net is broken. In the bible" Jesus told Simon, “don’t be afraid! From now on you will bring in people instead of fish”.

This artwork will be on sale online starting from the 8th of December at the AIATSIS Indigenous Art Market 2023 https://www.facebook.com/events/283231651260304
