Belle Budden, Yarrawarra
I am a Wakka Wakka woman currently living and working off country in Bundjalung Country. I am a practising multi-disciplinary artist and arts administrator and working with cultural arts forms including Visual Arts, Cultural Arts and Dance. I am a multidisciplinary artist and work with acrylic and water colour painting, lino/ block printing, screen printing, botanical printing, graphic design, video production, we I am a Cultural dancer and choreographer and have been dancing for many years and over the last 5 years have presented culture through dance on many stages in Australia and around the world. My eco plant-pigment work of 'Colours of Country' pays deep respect to my reverence of plant lore which is at the foundation of all our cultural practice, and by delving deeper into my relationship with native plants I am deepening my relationship with Country and my own cultural practice. It's a process of reclamation of knowledge which I hope to pass on to the next generation.
