This September, mother and daughter Vicki West and Tegan Murray host their first joint exhibition, milaythina-ti, meaning “in Country” in palawa kani. Centred around connection to homeland, the Design Tasmania-hosted exhibition pairs kelp sculptures – a material which signifies survival to artist Vicki West – with Tegan’s landscape photography. Each is presented in sets of nine, to signify the nine family groups of lutruwita (Tasmania) before colonisation.
