Artwork 2025/2026
Waters Together (w:40cm h:30cm)
Waters Together is a story of two waters—salt water and fresh water—flowing from different places but forever connected through Country, culture, and spirit. The physical artwork was sold at Blak Market Huskisson in 2026 to a beautiful family; with rights of the IP to still be used by Artisit, Birrabine Miigay Pty Ltd and Ngara Dorries Day events.
Fresh water comes from our creeks, springs and brings life to our land. Saltwater comes from the sea, strong and endless, holding knowledge of tides, fishing and trade. Where they meet they dance, mix, and shift; just like our kinship systems and way of sharing culture across mobs.
Artist Statement (Edwina Braddick): This painting speaks of unity – how land and water, people and spirit, all move as one. The patterns and flowing shapes show the pathways that connect us, and the sacred energy that keeps Country alive. This painting is also a tribute to my beautiful sibling and big sister Taminya, who brings connect our family through her love and strength.
