Jandamarra Cadd – a Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung descendent, is an inspirational man with many stories to tell. With his vibrant and expressive portraitures, Jandamarra’s artwork is emotive and insightful – and is a powerful medium to bridge the story telling divide between Aboriginal and mainstream Australia. Inviting unity and healing. Through his art, his words and storytelling he calls the viewer/listener to a deeper connection to self. And an identity imbued in custodial relationship with the ( Iyung )eternal oneness of the dreaming. “ Whether it’s doing hyperealism or coloured portraits or using dots to create the human form, for me it is all centred around  Gulpa Ngawal (deep listening). Listening for the internal language and the creative flow of life force that flows through us all.
