Returning to Gamilaraay country in order to reconnect both bodily and spiritually to the places of her Ancestors and sites significant to her childhood, Debbie Taylor-Worley has sat in Winanga-li, the principle of sitting meditatively on Country, to listen, learn and to remember. Wun-ga-li Ngurrambaa Winanga-li⁠ is a multidimensional exhibition incorporating textiles, sculpture, video, photography and installation using natural fibres, pigments and dyes found on Gamilaraay country. Drawing attention to the cultural practices of the artist’s female ancestors, each work has been created in, and alongside significant waterways on country, reflecting Gamilaraay women’s responsibility to protect the waterways.
