( STOLEN GENERATIONS AND TEARS NOT FORGOTTEN )

Justification

I see an artist impression, where the brushes paint more than just a picture, but through the power of emotion, truth, and burried subject. The artist tells a story that has plauged the earth and all the cultures living on it since the dawn of civilisation.
We can see the child being torn from it's mother and the hammer in it's hand depicts the final and divisive descion that can not be reversed, his fate is sealed. It also highlights the childs destined future of entering the slave industry of untold cruelties and exploitation.
In so many lands and islands, mountain villages, cities and isolated tribes, social indifference has allowed woman and men to be dominted and abused, and their families ransacked, and innocent children taken, never to be seen again.
In Australia the indigenous people! ( ABORIGINALS ) Had many atrocities committed against them. But to a parent there is nothing worse than having your children forcibly removed from you, you just want to curl up and die.
This is what happened all over the country and it is called the Stolen generations.
I believe the artist can hear their calls from the earth, and see their tears in every stroke of the brush hitting the canvas.
And as the oil in the paint hardens it describes the torture of brocken bonds that cant be healed for the millions that never had the opportunity to taste peace and family life. stolen, but not forgotten, stolen but not forgotten, this picture is a tribute to the stolen and their not forgotten.
It's also an indictment on society today to still allow this inhumane practise to continue. Not forgotten implies, not to tolerate or allow it to happen again.
