Ross Morgan was born in 1977 and comes from a family of artists whose traditions go back<br />
thousands of years. His father Ross senior and brother Wayne are also painters. Originally<br />
from the Goulburn Valley in Victoria, their work has its origins in the traditional tribal culture of<br />
their clan the Yorta Yorta.<br />
In the 1990's, the Morgans moved to St Kilda and held a stall at the St Kilda Esplanade market<br />
for many years selling their own art and craft.<br />

Artist Statement<br />
This piece is based around tribal story and is my interpretation of the waterhole as a meeting<br />
place for all kinds of creatures. It uses traditional place and animal spirit symbols.
