Website is dedicated to our ancestors, the Original people of this ancestral tribal land we call Australia
Inspired by being on country and quality time with elders. Contemporary Indigenous artist, JDHampton from the Northern Territory of Australia, I have been developing my creative skills in the areas of multimedia for the last 27 years and my artwork is in a class of its own.
“Who but the artist has the power to open man up, to set free the imagination? The others – priest, teacher, saint, statesman, warrior – hold us to the path of history. They keep us chained to the rock, that the vultures may eat out our hearts. It is the artist who has the courage to go against the crowd; he is the unrecognized “hero of our time” – and of al time”. – Henry Miller, quote from Stand Still Like the Hummingbird
