Artist Statement: “The original artwork for Journey was created during a printmaking and cultural exchange between Native American artists and Aboriginal Australian artists at the Buku-Larrngay Mulka Centre, an Indigenous community controlled art center in Yirrkala, Australia.

In various prints made by Aboriginal artists I recognized repeated motifs that reference the Milky Way. As Lakota people, we have teachings about the Milky Way related to our origins and our journey when we return to the spiritual realm. When I asked about the Milky Way references in their work, I was amazed to hear how strikingly similar their stories are to our own. Western science now also shares similar stories through recent research that indicates that the matter that makes up our bodies, originated in the stars. No matter your spiritual or religious beliefs, we are undoubtedly connected to the cosmos and to one another, on our individual, yet related journeys.” -Dyani White Hawk
