In Aboriginal cultures, as in most cultures throughout the world, the role of a grandmother holds a reverent place in family groups and is the glue that binds communities together.
Through a series of paintings, prints, textiles, objects, artefacts and jewellery, Shirley, a grandmother herself, explores the custodianship, cultural knowledge, survival knowledge and storytelling relevance of her generation.

Drawn from the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Collection ‘Joe Furlonger: Horizons’ traces the artist’s career through a range of media from painting to ceramics, sculpture and drawing.
Furlonger came to national prominence in the late 1980’s when his large-scale figurative painting Bathers 1987 won the prestigious Moët & Chandon Fellowship, providing him with a residency in France and crystallising the trajectory of his artistic development.
Throughout Furlonger’s 40-year practice, the human figure, land and seascapes have been recurring themes, and his works are instilled with an assured spontaneous dedication to the world around him.
‘Joe Furlonger: Horizons’ was curated by Michael Hawker, former Curator, Australian Art to 1980, QAGOMA, and originally displayed at the Queensland Art Gallery, August 2022 to January 2023.
