PROVENANCE
Blak Douglas created a mural on the sea wall at Bondi Beach. Seaweed Mob (2018), a major work commissioned by Cooee Art Gallery, pays homage to the original inhabitants of Sydney's south coast, the Gadigal. Having sourced what is reputed to be the only known photograph of a ceremony, taking place on the southern end of the beach, he incorporated it into a panoramic photograph taken when the beach was completely covered in seaweed. The image has been further enhanced using local rock carving imagery, stylised hand & foot prints, and a "you are here' map on left hand edge which traces the coastline like a "bloodline'.
