Thierry B Fine Art: Dreamtime in Darwin!

If you are a Melbournian, you like moi, have been shivering through the early morning chilly snaps, praying for spring to be sprung !! A client asked me to attend the 32ndTelstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Island Art Awards in Darwin on their behalf - I fist-pumped a yes, glad for the excuse to escape the cold into some humid heat. I have included some personal favourites of work I spied which absolutely astounded me and made me wanting more.

Curiously, none of the art works included dimensions - so you will need to use your broad imaginations and create your very own dreamscapes with these images! Exhibited at the Museum and Art Gallery of Northern Territory, each space showcasing these miraculous gems had me enthralled with their strength and intention.
