Untitled One
Craig talks about health being holistic and the importance of a balanced life. He talks about the interconnectedness of life with health, describing how connections to culture, family, the land, looking after elders, the Ancestors, employment, education are very important for good health. He also describes a very special occasion where he witnessed the beautiful Brolga’s dance.
Untitled Two
Craig describes his life journey and how he became himself, following his path, and not a path created by others. The painting depicts a canoe tree in the middle of nowhere, and although the tree looks dead, it tells a story that you have to look deeply to understand.
