Cover artwork: River Matriarch, Maddison Gibbs. Australian wood, acrylic, LED, metal. Dimensions (cm) 119H x 37W x , 2021. Highly commended at 2021 Blacktown City Art prize Maddison Gibbs is a proud Barkindji woman who grew up in Dubbo, NSW.

2 She currently lives and WORKS between Sydney and Kandos, NSW. Both artist and activist, Maddison Gibbs practice examines dual histories focusing on stories of past and present Aboriginal societies and spirit. A multidisciplinary artist, Gibbs WORKS across a wide spectrum of cultural praxis, utilising many methods and ideologies. Current thematics include intergenerational stories of contemporary Aboriginal affairs with a focus on telling women's narratives. Maddison Gibb's work is polarising, offering up culturally feminine intuitive visual poetics which at times starkly contrast with her art activism at the barricades. The dual sensitivities of caring for a country and fighting injustice is an interesting tension and one that is explored through out Gibbs practice.

3 My artworks are based on my culture, people and surroundings, they tell stories of past and present by using contemporary methods and ideologies.
