Will Mitry, Dreamtime Spirit Rising (ART, OBJECTS 2021)

This piece comes with a message for humans to reconnect to the earth, in mind, heart, spirit and culture as our First Nations did. This connection holds the key for the survival of the human race. The potential for this connection has never left us, we just need to carve away the weathered outer layers of our ego oriented mindset to find our deeper nature, our true selves, where our hearts beat as one with the earth and her cycles. This is where true peace, love and happiness exists. This piece is carved from an iron bark fence post recovered from the firewood pile. It is thought to be an original fence post put in by the white settlers of the Watagan Valley. The tree from which the post was sourced would have watched over they valley for hundred of years watching the traditional owners care for and manage the land. Their spirit rises and is honoured with this piece.
