Nomad2Worlds
Clifton is thrilled to be involved in a multi-media concept to be launched in New York during Australia Week in January 2009 . This project is the brainchild of internationally renowned photographer Russell James. Clifton has recently visited Russell at his home in New York after having the opportunity to spend time with Russell in his homelands at Lake Gregory in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The reciprocal nature of this collaboration has resulted in a breath-taking visual and auditory feast for the senses. Nomad2Worlds launches on 22nd January and is exhibiting until 29th January at Stephen Weiss Studio, Greenwich Village New York.
Welcome to Clifton Bieundurry.com.au

“...I feel there is a gap in interpreting Aboriginal culture, the contemporary and the ancient, to the outside world. I paint to fill that gap so that translation is clear and understood; not only by non-Indigenous people but also by Indigenous people themselves.
So much melding of cultures and introduction of non-traditional influences has left contemporary Indigenous people with a surface understanding of the ‘true’ Aboriginal culture, I paint to share my knowledge of my Culture’s strength, respect, purity and honour so that it can be admired and inspire Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people alike.”
