There are different types of aliens in our own country. Real aliens – Alice Springs is a UFO hotspot for sightings and the CIA establishment out here - it is very spooky and mysterious.
Walberlla (white people) are Aliens who came to this country and because they don’t know about it they are destroying the landscape with mining and industry. Our culture is abducted and our human rights are abused. Our healthy land gave us healthy food, now we have fast food and an unhealthy life. So, we have abducted our own work to show new things.
Our next exhibition will be held at Alcaston Gallery, Melbourne
