Artist CV: NAOMI HOBSON Artist CV: NAOMI HOBSON Born: 1978 Country: Coen, Far North Queensland, Australia Language Group: Kaantju/Umpila Artist’s statement: Coen is my home. My family and country mean everything to me. Naomi Hobson is a Visual Artist who resides on the banks of the riverbeds her grandparents were born. Her residence is an old tin shed that was once her village church. Her colourful abstract compositions act as a link between individuality and a shared identity. Her continual inspiration is the vast traditional lands of her ancestors surrounding the town of Coen in Queensland and her culture. More recently, Naomi is further inspired by the richness of cultural diversity she witnessed first-hand while exploring village life, rural farmlands and the organised urban chaos throughout South East Asia. Coen is a small township of 300 people at the bottom of the McIlwraith Ranges (part of the Great Dividing Range) surrounded by the east coast of Cape York Peninsula, rainforest and open wooded country, with many river systems that snake down to the northern section of the Great Barrier Reef. The local clans include Kaantju, Umpila, LamaLama, Ayapathu, Wik Mungkan and Olkola. This landscape has provided inspiration for Naomi’s paintings. I paint in my own personal space where I feel most comfortable including my back veranda, in the dry river beds, on the banks of my childhood fishing places as well as at the camp sites that my families have lived and spent time for thousands of years. I will take time to look at the miniature things, the tiny little things that nature hides. The landscape of Coen is also imbued with a marked political history. Since European settlement Aboriginal people have maintained a connection to their country through working on pastoral properties. Hobson’s grandfather was employed as a stockman for a European family, while other local indigenous people worked as farmhands (cooking, cleaning, gardening, baby-sitters) for no financial reward. Further, Hobson’s family have been active in indigenous land rights and reform movements in the effort to return traditional lands and on social and economic reforms to her Cape York community of Coen. Through her art, Hobson continues her family tradition of political and social engagement. Every brushstroke expresses the innate embeddedness of cultures and country in her paintings. However, this specific link to place is brought about through a keen sense of her own individuality. My aboriginality is what grounds me. Through art I get to freely express all of this. I can share my creative freedoms in a contemporary way. My style also reflects my individuality... I want my work to tell my stories in an innovative way, I want to introduce new work, to maintain a point of difference, I am wary to re-define and not recycle. While Hobson is quick to point out she has been exploring her art practise since her teenage years, in 2007 Hobson commenced her journey as an emerging artist. In 2013, Naomi Hobson had her first solo exhibition at Alcaston Gallery, Melbourne, which was opened by The Honourable Tony Burke MP, Member for Watson, Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities & Minister for the Arts, and Noel Pearson, Lawyer, Academic, Land Rights activist and Founder of the Cape York Institute for Policy and Leadership. The sell-out exhibition, titled I am Yikan (an exhibition exploring self-identity) was held from 4 June – 28 June. This body of work introduced the extent of Cape York’s extreme shades of brightness and colour and her own capability of layered colour combinations. 1 Every year since 2013, Hobson has held a solo exhibition, exhibited in many group shows including overseas, been a regular finalist in art awards (Finalist in National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards 2014, 2015, 2016) throughout Australia including Winner of the 39th Alice Spring Arts Prize. Hobson has featured in numerous arts magazines and has established herself as an Artist. Hobson’s art work has been acquired by institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Australia, Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia, Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. In June 2018, Hobson held her first overseas solo exhibition at Red Dot Gallery, Singapore.

  • Sorry Day Programme Fri 25/5/07
    Running Sheet NATIONAL SORRY DAY LITURGY FRIDAY 26 MAY, 2017 WE GATHER: Tatyana King-Smith: Good morning and welcome. My name is Tatyana King-Smith and I’m a Year 12 student. I am a proud descendant of Kulkalgal (cool-cul-garl). As Australians, we are all woven into this country’s stories. This morning we gather to commemorate National Sorry Day. We take this opportunity to hear the stories of our first peoples, to accept the fact that past laws, practices and policies deeply affected the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and to recognise moments of resilience, healing and the power of saying Sorry. We acknowledge that the journey towards reconciliation forms a significant part of Australia’s story, as do the stories of both trauma and triumph told by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Today also marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week which runs annually from 27 May – 3 June. In 2017, we reflect on two significant anniversaries in Australia’s reconciliation journey – 50 years since the 1967 referendum, and 25 years since the historic Mabo decision. Today, we take the time to recognise that reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, in the knowledge that we believe in fairness for everyone, that our diversity makes us richer, and that together, we are stronger. We are called, as the theme of Reconciliation Week suggests to ‘Take the Next Steps’ together. PROCESSION Procession will start when the music begins. Aboriginal flag carried in by and Sherlana and Mona Wolmby TSI flag carried in by Imani Tamwoy Place the flags on either arm of the big Cross.
