Frances Belle Parker’s ‘Aboriginal Art & Storytelling’ sculptures adorn multiple sites along the 36 km Northern Beaches Coast Walk.
Frances Belle Parker’s winning concept designs celebrate Aboriginal stories of whale migration and the coast as a gathering spot and important life source of food such as oysters.
“Through engagement with the Northern Beaches Aboriginal community, I hope we can tell stories that are relevant, as well as convey the underlying messages of the country and the people who walked this land before us.,” Frances Belle Parker said.
She came to prominence by winning the prestigious Blake Prize in 2000, making her the youngest ever winner and the first Aboriginal recipient in the prize’s history.
