About the Artwork:
“Where You End, I Begin” pays respect to the indigenous women of Australia and their intimate and gentle relationship with country. For tens of thousands of years they have been wise and responsible custodians of the lands we now have the privilege of sharing. Beyond the concept of ownership is a spiritual law of interconnectedness with all of nature – fauna and flora – and to each other.. ’Where You End, I Begin” is a reminder that in a world of ever-changing political and environmental climates, that this law is ever present and ever important. We must strive for mutual and reciprocal care for all of nature and for each other. – Sharon England
