Strong Family Connection by Anne Thompson.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Anne Thompson’s work reflects a deep connection to the past and present, shaped by growing up at Black Hill #2, her family’s homeland. Drawing on bush life, nature, and her surrounding environment, her work evokes the quiet of home, inviting reflection on how we care for the present while honouring the past and the cultural knowledge passed down through generations. A leading ceramic artist and advocate for the APY community, Anne’s practice is grounded in culture, community, and the belief that living well together comes from listening, respect, and remembering our ancestors.
“My work really understands about life taking place in time of the past and present. I don’t see what the future brings because you can’t see it yet. It’s peace, body, mind and soul and we all have to think about what’s right and wrong. I love peace. Peace is quiet, it allows you to believe in yourself and to follow up the things you want in your life. Places of noise are the city and traffic. At home, bush life, nature and the environment are all around me and my home is peaceful. I hope we can all get along well for our future and that we look after what’s happening now and think about the good memories that happened in the past and use it to follow up by living the way our ancestors did.”
