Johnathon World Peace Bush commissioned for My Country exhibition at the NGV!

Johnathon World Peace Bush has been commissioned to produce one of his biggest projects to date for the Country Road + NGV First Nations Commissions, opening at NGV Australia this March. For the project he was mentored by senior artist Pedro Wonaeamirri over 6 months to produce three large ochre paintings depicting the story of their family’s Country Paluwiyanga (Goose Creek), one tunga (folded bark basket) made by Pedro and painted by Jonathon and a 2 channel video work of Pedro singing and Johnathon dancing Tartuwali (shark dance) on Country. This audio-visual work was produced by Jilamara’s newly formed Wurrungura – multi-media knowledge centre.
