Indigenous Australians are one among the native people on earth with traditions and customs going back to approx. 50000 years. Their belief system is built on their value & respect towards the land and the Dreamtime. Though their dreaming about land changes between different groups, the idea of creation from their ancestors stays similar; ancestors and forefathers sprang up from underneath the soil as spirits and started building mountains, rivers, waterholes, trees, and light gardens for future generations.
These ancestral spirits are considered the creators and they are part of their day-to-day life. Aboriginals belief death as a transition to another life, where they consider the spirit taking different form of life after death. Spirits / soul of these ancestral beings are transferred to a different shape such as a tree, river, mountain, garden etc.

Originally from Colombia and currently working in Australia, Katherine Gailer creates
imaginary landscapes exploring characters, our natural environment, cultural identity and
spaces of magical realism. She graduated with honours from a Bachelor of Fine Arts and
completed an Arts Management Masters Degree– both at RMIT University. Her Practice
incorporates oil painting, murals and illustration.

Gailer’s artistic expression underscores a main theme that looks at the complex relationship
between fragility and strength, vulnerability and empowerment. Her artworks can be
interpreted as a series of confronting tensions to articulate the essence of the Feminine as a
force of relatedness in our world today.

History of the western world reveals an intentional repression of the feminine viewpoint –
leading to a dramatic disconnection to nature and our roots in something larger than
ourselves.  My work embarks on a journey towards reclaiming the feminine powers, as they
exist in the shadows, while resonating with the ever-changing flux of women experience:
Explosive, mysterious and interconnected.

My art evokes a sense of strength coupled with fragility; A delicate balance essential to all
living organisms. It celebrates resilience and liberation and clamours for an urgent need to
restore the invisible fabric that weaves together humans and nature; while treasuring
narratives in which new contemporary female identities reconnect with our natural
environment.

Recent awards include 2018 People’s Choice Award at Corangamarah Art Prize, 2018
Packer’s Art Prize (Red Rock Regional Gallery, Victoria) and 2017 ROI Art Prize (Melbourne).

Australian Aboriginal people tell several stories about seven sisters from the Dreaming Time which is the time of the creation of the universe by their ancestors. This story of seven sisters originated from the culture of stars in the Taurus constellation.

There were seven sisters who were all beautiful and elegant. Every man who saw them wished to marry one of the sisters. One day the sisters went into the bush with their digging sticks to gather foods including wood ants, witchetty grubs, and honey ants. After a successful expedition, they sat down to enjoy a feast, never imagining that a lonely warrior named Warrumma was hiding close by, watching them. While the sisters were eating, Warrumma took away two of the digging sticks and hid them. All the sisters looked for the two lost sticks in vain but eventually the five sisters who still had their digging sticks sadly left without the two sisters whose sticks had been taken.

Clever Warrumma came out of hiding and firmly grabbed the two sisters by their waists. He promised the girls that he would take good care of them and would marry them. The two girls decided that they would pretend to agree to Warrumma’s plan, while looking out for the opportunity to escape. One day they were asked to cut pine bark to make a fire. As soon as the girls climbed the pine trees, those trees started to grow right up to the sky. Warrumma shouted in vain for the girls to come down. But they kept climbing and were soon warmly welcomed to the sky by the five sisters anxiously waiting for them, If you observe constellation carefully you may see the two freed girls as they arrive at their sisters? camp in the sky.
