Aboriginal Art &
Amateur Astronomy A Confluence of Culture, Creativity, Art
& Science D P (Mo) Milika © Milika Nicholas All Images and Web
Design It might seem
strange that this Australian Aboriginal website is so dedicated to
astro-images & information: all I can say is perhaps anyone who thinks
this should update their awareness: we’re not all footballers! J My “Bio” gives some more background but the truth
is that I grew up in the racist society that Australia was in the 1950’s
& 60’s & still carry some of the “baggage” to this day, exacerbated
by my own personal sensitivities. You can never exorcise the past, it is a
ghost leaving its’ indelible mark forever, but one thing I’ll never do now is
let anyone tell me who I am or what I can strive for success at! My philosophy on
art has struck a chord with First Nation practitioners in North America,
South Africa & here in Australia - & by capturing some of the finest
amateur Solar System images possible, those achievements are also
acknowledged internationally & used by professionals in their own
studies. Any “message” for
others (especially young Indigenous Australians) in my endeavours is this: NEVER BE AFRAID
TO CHASE YOUR DREAMS, NOR LET PEOPLE TELL YOU WHAT YOU CANNOT STRIVE FOR - IT
CAN TAKE YOU TO THE STARS! |
