Digital Child Indigenous design
Created by Elaine Chambers-Hegarty, our new Digital Child Indigenous artwork tells a story of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people coming together with a focus on children, digital technologies, and connections.
The design shows people coming together. There are little nodes representing digital technologies and their connections. Children are central to the design – and to our Centre research.
The artwork is the second in a series. The first Digital Child Indigenous design was created with the main focus of the hand that navigates through the internet and the digital process.
The artist Elaine Chambers-Hegarty writes: I have chosen to create the hand like a child’s hand, and added dots around to represent our people. There are markings around the main circle that represent our mob from the water, the land, and how we are all connected.
The lines and circles jutting out from the main circle represent the internet, and it’s connection to everywhere. This is similar to how sometimes we may design our pathways or connections to mob and areas, but used in a square format. The colours used are of the land and water and the sky.
