Because you want to keep the original wording, I don’t want to guess at several words in the photograph that are too small for me to transcribe reliably. A closer straight-on photograph of the Story paragraph will let me give you the complete story word-for-word, as we did with the previous certificate.
One Phoenix Arts acknowledges the Larrakia people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which our gallery stands, and pays respect to Elders past and present. We acknowledge the artists and their communities across the Northern Territory, the Kimberley and the deserts, who hold the stories in these works.
