Fiona Foley has created some of the most culturally significant artwork in Australia and has been collected by national and international institutions. Her work explores deep questions about Indigenous and non-Indigenous relations with reference to leading historians. Fiona is from the Wondunna clan of the Badtjala nation and grew up in Hervey Bay speaking Badtjala in the family home with my extended family. Our traditional boundaries include the geographical landmarks of Fraser Island (K’gari), Double Island Point, Tin Can Bay, Bauple Mountain and north to a point at the mouth of Burrum Heads.
