BIO
Heather Winter
“Since 1994 I have been under tutelage from Ngarinyin Aboriginal elders from the Kimberley. In telling me their story, song of their country they have tried to instill in me their understanding of place. Resulting in a series of conversational pieces titled Perceiving the Land (1996-1998) and From Cave to Canvas: A Process of Translation, (2003-2006).
