by Daniel O'Shane
Miriam Mer / Kuku Yalanji (Torres Strait Islands)
Through the combination of his heritage and the art form of vinyl printing, Daniel has been rewarded with knowledge and stories of his ancestors. His patterns are a fusion of his Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal heritage. learn more →
The way Daniel expresses, conducts, approaches and executes his art is in fact his voice, treaty and truth. Reflection (Mar-asmer) reflects the notion that Daniel is heard through his art, and the artwork reflects how creating work is the truest form of his identity. Daniel sees this as his own contract between himself and his culture. Not a single specific or literal image can represent these themes to Daniel. Reflection (Mar-asmer) embodies a map of Daniel's culture, his people and himself; which is a reflection of his voice, treaty and truth."
