A contemporary reference to south-eastern mark making on geometric patterning, and in homage to the iconic colours of the Aboriginal flag, Reko Rennie’s artwork Always deliberately affirms its place within the community as one that speaks to its strong connections to First Nations, acknowledging our people through a proud, public declaration of solidarity.
Rennie’s work tends not to take on literal representations, rather uses repetitive pattern as a way to imply significant ties to site and a broader understanding of culture. Scar trees can be found right across the country. Many of these have dendroglyphs within them, acting as markers of place and ceremony.
