Each colour links to the act of ceremony, in particular the use of white ochre,\u201d Dr Gilson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing elements of Country within my art practice is really positive because you\u2019re walking on country, you\u2019re gathering, you\u2019re sourcing your materials and you\u2019re connecting to them as you\u2019re sourcing them.
