    Nyarntiny Kija

    182 St Georges Road, Fitzroy North
    • Tags
    Nyarntiny, a Kija word meaning gum tree, is a tribute to the artist Kamilya White's late grandfather, Bill Gregory (Pop). Inspired by the glorious gumtrees that surrounded his property and the memories of the artist's time spent visiting her grandparents, each painting reflects the beauty of the trees' markings and layers, symbolising the different stages of life, and the pathways and journeys we take throughout them. Inviting reflection, these works speak for all moments – from joyful times to sombre days, and absolutely everything in between.
