More information

Abstract artwork titled 'Sentient' by Hollie Johnson, features a complex pattern of intersecting blue, green, and yellow lines over a white background showing the journeys of life starting, finishing and intersecting. The colouring of the line work illustrates the evolution of nature through many First Nations stories: the sun, the giver of life (yellow), the creation of land (green), and the sea (blue). Red and black concentric diamond and semi-circle shapes symbolise men and women respectively, connecting them to Ancestors who gave birth to them. The artwork is also a representation of RMIT and the experience within our community, culture and pathways.
