Designed by contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artist Dennis Golding (Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay) the artwork and logo speak of contemporary and traditional pathways that support healing and wellbeing in our communities. The artwork and logo acknowledges and celebrates the
diversity of First Nation people in Australia and how we connect with to one another through these pathways as one people.
The key inspiration of this artwork is drawn from modern pathways such as train tracks, roadways and walkways. These contemporary modes of transport allow us to think about the traditional pathways that Aboriginal people have created long before European settlement. The work recognises that these pathways lead to healing for our communities.
Dennis Golding is a Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay artist from the northwest of NSW and was born and raised on Gadigal land (Redfern, Sydney). Through his mother’s lineage Dennis also has ancestral ties to Biripi country situated along the mid-north coast of NSW.
Working in a range of mixed media including graphic design, painting, video, photography and installation, Golding critiques the social, political, and cultural representations of race and identity. His practice is drawn from his own experiences living in urban environments and through childhood memories.
Golding was surrounded by art from his urban upbringing living in an Aboriginal community in Redfern (often referred to as ’The Block’). As a young child, he often watched his mother and grandmother paint on large canvas and sheen fabrics which depicted Australian native plants and animals, cultural motifs, and human figures. Golding developed his professional practice in art school through mentorships with leading curators, educators, and artists. Golding graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at UNSW Art & Design in 2019 and now works independently as an artist and curator.
Since graduating Golding was awarded the Create NSW Visual Arts Fellowship 2020 and has exhibited at many major institutions including the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney Living Museums, and Carriageworks. Golding’s work can also be seen around Sydney in many public art installations. Golding also co-founded the Re-Right Collective with Carmen Glynn-Braun.
Through his artistic and curatorial practice, Golding aims to present powerful representations of contemporary Aboriginal cultural identity that inform narratives of history and lived experiences.
