About Me

Myspace Layouts by Joses Gosper

I was born in Carnarvon, Western Australia, on the 20th of September 1977. I am Aboriginal (Black Australian), of the Nundah (Yamitji) Tribal People from Mooni-mia which is near Northampton WA. I have lived most of my life in a small town called Shark Bay, which is about a thousand kilometres north of Perth WA, with a population of about 600 mixed European, Aboriginal and Asian people. After completing my Primary School years in Shark Bay I went to John Frewer Hostel in Geraldton for three and a half, where I did my High School years, I left School early. On leaving High School I went straight into the Work Force, I did Heavy Machinery and Labouring jobs for most of my Teen years, until 1996 when I moved to Perth (Western Australian Capital) to look for better opportunities. I moved back to Shark Bay where I was self employed as a Sign Writer, and studied Art Courses. In 1999 I moved back to Perth and studied Music for four years. While I was doing Music, I also completed several Courses on Aboriginal History, Culture, Music, Language and Social Issues. At the end of my studies I began teaching at a Primary School. I dealt mainly with troubled Children, from all Backgrounds, Children who came from broken Homes or had major trouble fitting in at school. I also taught Music and was a Teachers Aid. I left my job at the Primary School to start work with the Department of Justice, helping youth get their life back together after they were released from Remand Prisons. I am currently working at a Casuarina Prison (Maximum Security for Adults), teaching Music and helping Prisoners with Education.akaguitar.com

ART ON THE INSIDE

Out of 2 Million People in Western Australia over 3500 are Prisoners, over 2800 (80%) are Aboriginal (Black Australian). Western Australia has one Maximum Security Prison, Casuarina. 50% of the Prisoners in Casuarina are Aboriginal. Aboriginal People are the Minority in there own Country (all of Australia), but they are the Majority in the Prisons. I won’t go into all ‘System’ problems that are set up to put Aboriginal People in Jails; this is just a few Statistics to get people thinking.

What I want to talk about is the Art work produced by the Aboriginal Prisoners. Artistic expression is a Cultural Identity with Aboriginal People, this include Sports, Art, Music, and the Spirit World. The Quality of the Paintings produced by Aboriginal Prisoners is Amazing. Take my advice, if you’re an Art Collector then check out some of there work at the Old Fremantle Prison. Not nearly enough said, but it’s all I’m going to say.

Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to show Prisoners Artwork, harsh penalties would result from such a Security breach.

Below is my first ever Canvas Painting which I started and completed Sunday 3rd of June 2007, it took about three hours. It’s also the first time in about 8 years that I’ve done a serious piece of art; I’m just trying to get back into it.

...and here is another I completed Sunday 10th of June 2007; it took couple of days.

I'd like to meet:
