‘Wurrunggi Biik: Law of the Land, is the foundation in which our Beign, our living, our place and belonging exists. It tells us how the world is made, how the world works and the laws for living in it.’ — Dr Vicki Couzens
‘Wurrunggi Biik: Law of the Land rises from a memory immprint that conjures Bunji, the Great Creator Spirit. The large-scale Possum Skin Cloak signifies the ever-presence of First Nations people, the significance of Indigenous knowledges, and the law of the land. Its embodiment of place, of protection and Sovereignty invites us to take pause, stop, and connect with Country—the land that connects all of us.’ – Jessica Clark
‘Wurrunggi Biik: Law of the Land is a public artwork that will transform our current understanding of reconciliation and promte an environment for a shared future for al, through the founding principle of Sovereignty.’ – Grace Leone
