🖼 Each month we ask one of our staff to select a work from our collection. This month, Penrith Regional Gallery's Director, Toby Chapman, shares about one of his favourite works from our collection! This charcoal on paper artwork, ‘Untitled’ (2011) was created by Tori Ann Klower when she was a student at Nepean CAPA. As part of a schools’ incursion project, Tori and other Indigenous students were mentored by visiting artist Cath Farr and Mark Little, who encouraged the students to step away from online-based activities and reconnect with their physical surrounds. Tori described how the work was made spontaneously during one session, and I certainly respond to the materiality of this work, and the vitality and urgency it conjures. With Garma Festival in Arnhem Land just last week, and the discussions about a referendum towards an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, this work is a timely reminder. A reminder of the dark history of colonisation in Australia; of the truth-telling that so desperately needs to occur; but also of the immense resilience and strength of our First Nations communities. I’m thrilled to share this work by Tori, who still lives and works in Penrith. Tori’s flag is one of great purpose. Whilst participating in the Artists in Schools Project she was inspired to make the flag in response to the fact that there was no Aboriginal flag at the school. Tori is a descendant of the Wuthathi people whose country is to be found on the north-eastern coast of the Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. Her artwork has been shown in several exhibitions at Penrith Regional Gallery ‘Noise’ 2013, ‘Do Not Panda’ 2011 and ‘New Acquisitions in Context’ 2011.
