Harmers Haven (1841)
What if the names of people who made an indelible mark on our history were scratched into the cliffs of a remote stretch of coastline? This quest to reveal the poignant history of the beautiful beaches of Harmers Haven was the inspiration for my painting.
The Aboriginal Protectorate, alleged colonist abusers, first people Tasmanians sent to the gallows for payback and one left to die as the last of her kind become a connected history of Tasmania and Victoria and the tragic outcomes and cruelties endured by the clashing of worlds. Their extraordinary stories and secrets spiritually etched like many others on the vast Australian landscape.
