23.01.2022 Fiona Elisala-Mosby works as an artist and studio coordinator at Ngalmun Lagau Minaral (Moa Arts @moa_arts), a vibrant art centre operating from Kubin Village on Moa Island. Lockdown has been hard for Fiona, ‘We had our calendar mapped out for the year, with workshops, exhibitions and deadlines. With coronavirus, all of that changed’. However, Fiona has found connecting with family has helped. ‘You draw your strength from your home, your family, and your surroundings. That’s... what builds you up, to continue your journey'. #BuyFair to help artists through a crisis that’s far from over.

22.01.2022 Truth seeking and story telling inform Trawlwoolway artist Julie Gough’s inspiration and process. Working predominantly in sculpture, video and installation, she locates and reconfigures often fragmented histories from her family, the archives, and Country itself into retellings of episodes from across Lutruwita (Tasmania), particularly from the darkest colonial times. Materially drawn to found materials that hold their own history, both human made and natural, Julie also m...akes cultural objects that speak to both loss and resilience; combining these with other technologies she affirms the importance of remembering while asserting the continuance of Tasmanian Aboriginal people.

18.01.2022 Naomi Hobson's graphic paintings invoke the tropical landscape of the reefs and rainforests of her immediate surrounds. Her densely coloured paintings are abstracted experiences of country. Her paintings reference the light at certain times of the day, shifting sandbanks, and tidal ebbs and flows. These moments are open to those who have spent a lifetime connecting with, being on and caring for country.

16.01.2022 Contemporary artist from Goreng Goreng Country, Rachael Sarra (@sar.ra_), uses art as a powerful tool in storytelling to educate and share Aboriginal culture and its evolution. Rachael often works in collaboration with Indigenous-owned businesses and Indigenous Art Code dealer members Blaklash Creative (@blaklashcreative) and Aboriginal Art Co. (aboriginalartco.au). Together, Rachael and Blaklash Creative have worked on public artworks like bridge projections, murals and viny...l bus wraps which highlight Rachael's fun, feminine and engaging style. Aboriginal Art Co. ethically sources art and products from artists like Rachael and is soon to launch an online shop.

15.01.2022 Saretta Fielding is a member of the Wonaruah Nation, of the Hunter Valley Region in New South Wales. She is the founder of Saretta Art and Design, and Malang Indigenous Corporation, a not-for-profit supporting the sustainable economic and social inclusion of Aboriginal people in the community. Her art is informed by visits on Wonaruah Country - ‘One that had a big impact on me growing up is a large sand engraving site. There are over a dozen engravings in the rock shelf. We used to camp there at night - where we’d brush off the leaves and light a lantern. The grooves in the rock would light up, and you’d see the imagery’.

08.01.2022 Meet Naomi Hobson. Lockdown caused Naomi some initial sadness with cancelled or delayed exhibitions and the associated travel. However, Naomi has since embraced the positives of devoting more time for painting in her home studio. She admits that she is even observing things she hasn’t noticed before and this will no doubt be channelled into her paintings.

07.01.2022 Inspired by the rock art of West Arnhem Land, Kunwinjku artist and @injalakarts Co-Manager Gabriel Maralngurra, references and innovates within this artistic tradition. His knowledge of stories, plants and animals are reflected in his fluent linework and highly original compositions. Gabriel describes a recent work titled Kudjewk Kulabbarl (Rock Art Style Wet Season Billabong), 2020 and the ancestrally created landscape the painting depicts: "In the Wet season water is flowi...ng everywhere. The floodlplain is full of water, there are a lot of fish. There is plenty to eat. The water python eats fish. The turtles eat little beetles that appear with the rains. The goannas and fish are eating insects like dragonflies and spiders. Everything is full of life. Yawk Yawk (water spirits) appear in the sacred waterholes which have filled up. The spirits start to roam in the country. They have new growth."

05.01.2022 Saretta Fielding is an artist, entrepreneur and activist. Despite the challenges that COVID-19 created, Saretta continues to adapt and remains committed to Aboriginal art and business. "I have a fantastic team of Aboriginal people working here, doing what they do well. And this is a business that will go into the future.

05.01.2022 Meet Jenni Kemarre Martiniello, an award winning artist, writer and arts advocate of Arrernte, Chinese and Anglo-Celtic descent. Jenni is perhaps best known for her glass works, which skillfully utilise the Italian technique of ‘caneworking’ to capture the forms of traditional woven vessels. Says Jenni, There’s something quite satisfying about using a technique that's several hundred years old, and regarded as venerable and ancient by the Western world, to give expression t...o things whose origin is tens of thousands of years old." Represented by Indigenous Art Code dealer members @paul_johnstone_gallery in Darwin, @sabbiagallery in Sydney and @vivienandersongallery in Melbourne, Jenni remarks that Most of my income is through gallery sales and those galleries work really hard at selling artists work. I'm very happy with their representation. It is a bit precarious at the moment, the galleries have less visitors, and they haven't been able to have openings. Sales are down, but we’re still working away. I’ve been lucky, that I can keep practicing my art. Learn more about the Indigenous Art Code and its members by visiting the link in our bio.

03.01.2022 For Fiona Elisala-Mosby, art is intertwined with the transmission and preservation of cultural knowledge: ‘My work is based around my Aka (Grandmother). She loved gardening, and she was a weaver too. She is my main inspiration. We need to maintain and preserve this knowledge, and make sure that it’s passed on’. And how do we best support artists during this time? ‘By talking, purchasing our art, and sharing our stories’, Fiona says.

02.01.2022 For Dallas Brady, wood carving is more than a hobby, ‘It’s not just what I can make from a piece of wood, it’s the knowledge that goes into it, and passing that on to the young fellas. It’s about culture, and keeping it alive’. However, the lockdown has impacted Dallas’ practice, ‘We couldn’t go out to collect our wood. We use mulga mainly, but for the come-back boomerangs, we’ll use ti-tree - it’s lighter, springier. Luckily, I had some pieces in the backyard, and that’s kept me going’.

02.01.2022 Dallas Brady is an Adnyamathana and Yankunytjara man, based in Port Augusta. Recently, Dallas’ carvings were displayed at the @southaustralianmuseum as part of Yurtu Ardla. The exhibition was the culmination of a five-year project, led by his grandfather, Uncle Roy Coulthard and supported by @ku.arts - It explored the long continuity of, and innovation within, traditional wood carving practices. Continuing the tradition of wood carving, Dallas has become a mentor to young Aboriginal people, ‘I’m going down to the schools, volunteering with the kids, teaching them to make boomerangs and clubs, and then demonstrating how to use them’.

02.01.2022 An article by Gabriella Coslavich in yesterday’s Australian Financial Review featuring Naomi Hobson Artist and Gabriel Maralngurra of Injalak Arts, discussing the launch of the Our Art is Our Lifeline campaign and speaking to the resilience and adaptability of artists during these uncertain times. ‘To draw attention to these everyday artists, be they working in art centres or, like Hobson, with galleries and dealers, the Indigenous Art Code is launching a national campaign ...next week, "Our Art Is Our Lifeline", to encourage people to buy Indigenous art and to inform them about the most ethical means of doing so.’ The Indigenous Art Code helps protect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists by getting sellers of their art to commit to treating artists fairly, transparently and respectfully. Where problems arise with both dealer and non-dealer members of the Indigenous Art Code we support artists to exercise agency, to make sure they get a fair go within the industry. We encourage artists, the general public and industry to bring reports of breaches of the Code to us.
