Taylor Huddleston

Birth Place: Canberra Year of Birth: 1992

Background: Taylor is connected to the Ngandi language group in the Roper River of East Arnhem Land through her father’s people and has cultural ties with the Wiradjuri, Bandjin, Kalkadoon and Gurindji language groups through her mother’s and grandmother’s people. Her artworks are influenced by a long line of Aboriginal artists who have based their paintings on their custodial country and the stories associated with it and more often than not depict designs of totems and spirits relating to ‘real life’ activities such as hunting, fishing, singing and dancing. The images, in most instances, relate to the teachings of ancestors on the survival and social infrastructure of Aboriginal language groups
