Staunch2026Acrylic on canvas60.9cm x 152.4cm“Staunch” was originally going to be painted on a smaller canvashowever, after thinking of the story of the piece and conceivingthe titl e, I knew it needed to be much bigger. This is because theshield is a representation of the strength and protection fromour ancestors and past generations that refused to stay silent.On the shield there are five diamond-like shapes, which speakto the theme of “50 Years of Deadly.” As Birrunga said to us in ameeting recently, we have been deadly for well over 50 years,which gave me the idea of continuing the line work around theshield.
