The impetus for the series derived from my realisation that a document had not been made of individuals who make up the Aboriginal arts community. In 2008, I was in a residency at the Banff Centre and saw for the first time a number of prominent indigenous artists together as a group—artists who I had previously only known by name alone. That coupled with my interest in portrait photography made me want to embark upon this documentary project.
