Esplanart

Installed as part of the Esplanart Exhibition, this sculpture is called Japun Miju (Eel Country). This piece represents Wayne’s cultural ties to the land, showing the importance of freshwater rivers and lakes as a major food source for his grandparents people, of both the Yidinji and Ngadjon Tribes, a tradition that continues today with him and his parents.

Wayne's commitment to his heritage and culture, his skill as an artist and his astuteness as a businessman have all been evident throughout the time we have worked together. We have challenged Wayne and ASA on a number of occasions either creatively or professionally, and Wayne has always delivered on both accounts.
