Media snippet from artist Gemma King;

“Tyler Stackman-Green is a talented, young emerging artist. With skills in painting, drawing and sculpture, the art is pouring out of him! Anything Tyler touches creatively is done with natural prowess. He is definitely a man to watch! I feel lucky to have been able to work on this with him.”

“For me, this work will go down as one of the most meaningful and inportant artworks I’ve ever done, as it was about so much more than myself and the message mattered more than anyone, or of anything I’d dreamt of touching on with my art before.”

“Learning culture and hearing stories of my hometown and country from Tyler was an honour and a privilege that I’ll never forget.”

This work is in the main street (Oxley Hwy/Fitzroy St) of Walcha on Dhungutti Country, wrapping the wall of the town hospital.
