Making Wings from Making Wings by Judy Jacques
'...some old one made wings to fly back' after reading auntie ida west’s
plain words about the imprisonment of the aboriginal people on flinders island, which expressed so well the sadness of the past.
i kept asking myself wings? how would they be? what would be the materials? i imagined... i made drawings and prints, but mainly,
i needed to make songs.
