I've been looking into some contemporary Indigenous-Australian artists lately...I find the combination of traditional imagery and contemporary issues to be a really interesting basis for work - something very new to me, especially since I don't have the background knowledge of the Indigenous cultures like most Aussies do.

Anyway, a classmate turned me on to Tony Albert - a Brisbane based mixed media artist who uses text and imagery to create work that shows the political, historical and cultural issues between Indigenous people and white Australia today. A reoccurring word in his work is "Sorry", clearly referencing Kevin Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generations.
