Persistent purple tones resonate deeply with the truthful moodiness of Palawa afternoons. Daily commuters across the island turn on and off the bass and midland highways, reminded by violet skies that the day is over, unknowingly united in their mutual acknowledgement of Country’s turning.

Uncle Nick Kupetsky is a Palawa Kani man from central Lutruwita Tasmania and is a lifelong creative practitioner. Uncle Nick’s multi-media practice explores the deep and dark ancestral histories of Palawa country, as well as the artist’s own private moments of cultural discovery and revelation. When painting Country, Uncle Nick takes a mental image of places that feel energetic and vibrate with history. He returns to the memory over time, forming feeling and truth, before putting it onto canvas.
