My still life will make its debut as a finalist at Cossack Art Awards this July. Stoked! Especially since its the personal belongings of a friend's grandfather, Adrian Day, former patrol officer, memoirist, and early steward of the Mackerel Islands.

The work reflects a life lived at the intersection of policy, place, and personal conscience. In the 1950s, Day served under the Native Administration Act across remote Western Australia. His memoir, Wadjelas, recounts both the bureaucratic injustices he witnessed and the profound cultural encounters that reshaped his understanding of Indigenous Australian resilience and dignity.

Through objects of worn leather Red Wing boots, a metal tin, a time piece and keys to unopened places, I honour the human complexity of Day’s role: at times complicit, at times courageous. He was among the few white men invited to witness sacred initiation ceremonies, a marker of trust and respect rarely extended. His story bridges the pain of systemic removal and the beginnings of ethical self-awareness.

Later, Day helped pioneer eco-tourism on Thevenard and Direction Islands—now the Mackerel Islands—preserving WA’s natural heritage while fostering connection to country. These belongings, rich with memory, evoke not sentimentality but legacy: a man shaped by the land, its peoples, and a quiet reckoning with history.

This portrait is both homage and inquiry into power, memory, and the growth inherent in a life examined.
