Artist statement: Tommy Day  The background colours are representative of country, from the greenery of the trees stretching across the underlying layer of beneath country depicted by the orange tones. The striking blue represents water with the striking hint of pink you see in the sunrise and sunset. The white represents ochre, a natural resource important to ceremony. The circular design floating across the pink and orange signifies the community of Ascot Vale, interconnected and spreading across the landscape. I have included Bunjil (Eagle) and Waa (Crow), spirit birds, holding knowledge of all things. Powerful representations of Wurundjeri's past, present and future. The gum leaves flowing throughout the piece signify the planting of the seeds of knowledge, ongoing and never ending.  All together, this piece represents the knowledge of country and the knowledge of self, the coming together of community to share and exchange knowledge.
