Kirene Newchurch - Our First Swim

Kirene Newchurch

Our First Swim

acrylic on canvas

42 x 60 cm

This artwork is inspired by my SAASTA Academy and how important it is to represent our country while going to Power Cup. The main idea is the hands as the centrepiece, with different stories surrounding them. The hands represent an Elder holding hands with the younger generation. The Elder is showing them the way of the water, teaching them how to swim and about native plants and animals.
