On of the exhibiting artists, Annette Kennedy, discusses the themes behind her artworks:
'The Goanna features predominantly in Aboriginal Mythology (and or Dreaming stories) and Australian Folklore. Being
predatory lizards, goannas are quite large, or at least bulky, with teeth and claws. In my case the Goanna represents a spiritual significance a sacred symbol that represents my mob within our very large nation.'
