Sydney Local Health District

In 2022 Maddison Gibbs was commissioned by the Sydney Local Health District to create a striking mural titled “Spirit Country” on the Church St car park at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Camperdown, Sydney.

“This artwork is a nod to Country and the healing properties the Country provides. Ancient Aboriginal stories of medicine, food, caring and healing are embedded through the earth. In plants, stars, mountains, animals, bugs and shared through ceremonies of art, dance, song and movement. Paying homage to the Turpentine forest that was on this site for thousands of years holding the knowledge of Country.” – Maddison Gibbs
