This signifies the spiritual connection between Aboriginal people and the snake. Nick himself elaborates on his own connection to the crow, where once he had found a crow with a broken wing to which he cradled under his jacket, and it became part of him until it was better and could return to nature.

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.
