“Water is a big part of all Bundjalung Dreaming, I have always been a saltwater man.”

Albert (Digby) Moran is an Elder and prominent Bundjalung/ Dungutti artist who grew up on Cabbage Tree Island.

Digby is renowned for his recurring diamond motif in his work said to represent the natural pattern left in the tidal flats on beaches and estuaries as the tide changes. As part of Artstate 2017 public arts program we commissioned Digby and worked with him to produce a site-specific installation further exploring the repetition of this ancient motif and his intimate connection to Bundjalung country.
