Kimberley Country, its beauty and its iconic cattle musters and cowboys are brought to life in a vibrant collection of the pioneering artworks of Gooniyandi Elder and artist Mervyn Street.
With his vivid memory and natural talent for capturing movement and colour, Mervyn shares his life, Country and history of his family in paintings, drawings, carvings and animations that reveal love, struggle and triumph.
Stolen Wages features newly commissioned paintings that continue Mervyn’s legacy of telling truth to power, following his historic court victory over the State Government for decades of wages stolen from the station workers of the Kimberley.
