Alice Springs Hospital Mural
| 2004 | I further extended my experience of working with Arrernte artists when I was commissioned to work with 12 artists from Irrkerlantye Arts to paint a large mural for the Alice Springs hospital entrance foyer, and the finished work is a story about health, culture and reconciliation in Central Australia. |

Santa Teresa Church Murals
| 2002 - 2003 | The Arrernte people at Santa Teresa in Central Australia wanted to "own" their church by painting murals throughout its interior, and asked me to teach a group of untrained artists in realistic and figurative painting styles. This church mural project took two years and drew not only on my long-developed relationships within the Arrernte community, my long experience as an art teacher and facilitator, but on my own knowledge, practise and training in the techniques of western Art. . "For me, the walls were a space representing the "great unknown" between the Christian and Aboriginal spiritualities, and also a space of great possibilities to find common ground, using the language of art. The church was a work place where we aimed to resolve the extremes between the sacred and the everyday." |
