I acknowledge the owners of the basalt-rainforest-sea lands I grew up on and return to: the Widjabul Wia-bal and Arakwal people.I acknowledge the owners of the sandstone-grasstree-sea lands that I was born on, live on and work on: the Garigal, Gadigal and Bidjigal people.I recognise that the values, protocols and the knowledge held by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have kept this land healthy and strong for over 65,000 yrs. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.Respect to all First Nations people and their Elders.My practice is grounded in recognition and respect for the intricate ecosystem on our mineral-earth and the eukaryota-archaea-bacteria, who are all our relatives and who we share our ancestry with.
