The Story Behind The Art
The Drift of Our Elders is a piece inspired by the passing down of knowledge, culture and tradition. It is an illustration of how our cultural values and learning seamlessly intertwine. Displayed at the bottom of the artwork is my representation of elders, who are connected side by side. From the elders, an abundant river of knowledge flows across the piece as a reflection of the continuous drift of learning. Depicted in the centre is a sacred yarning circle, a prominent symbol of discussion, sharing and a place to create enriched relationships. Surrounding the circle are children, women, men and elders all gathered together to tell the stories of the land, the seas and the sky. These stories are displayed through the palm tree, the turtle and the moon. Together these symbols, colour palette and ochre textures tell the story of ‘The Drift of Our Elders’.
About The Artist
Taylor-Lee is a rising Indigenous artist from the southern Gold Coast. A proud young Kungadidji 16-year-old, she loves to surf, skate and paint — passions often reflected throughout her work through ocean elements, blue tones and boho-inspired pastels.
In 2023, Taylor-Lee’s NAIDOC Week artwork was selected as one of six highly commended pieces by the Queensland Government. Shortly after, she was awarded the Young, Black & Proud Scholarship for her art.
Balancing school, surfing and creativity, Taylor-Lee continues to design and share new artworks through Ochre Sisters — named after both herself and her younger Indigenous sister.
