The artwork is by Garry Jones, winner of the Art of Place 2000 and National Indigenous Heritage Art Award.
Garry has provided this explanation of his work:
The artwork is a celebration of our connection and rootedness to the land from which we come, and the life force from which we draw our hopes and inspiration. The spiral represents this energy inherent in the world about us and the dotting is the diffusion of that force throughout the land. The snaking yellow line of dots represents the path or journey along which we travel in life and which maintains our connection to our origins, giving us the core of our identity. The hand print is one of the most fundamental and enduring symbols of our Indigeneity, it also represents our capacity as Indigenous people to have power over our circumstances wherever we are.
Topics for the research briefs are selected by justice agencies from Australia and New Zealand, following advice from the Indigenous Justice Clearinghouse Reference Group. Users of the site are also welcome to suggest a topic by contacting the Clearinghouse.
