“Our people have been here for 50,000 years. They had a family life, they lived in communes, they worked together, they met together, they hunted together and that’s how I depicted my drawings." – Rex Greeno

An exhibition of works by Tasmanian Aboriginal Elder Rex Greeno - artist, fisherman, and maker of tuylini, ninga and pyerre (Tasmanian Aboriginal bark and reed canoes) - that tells a story of deep connection to culture, family and the sea.

Inspired by Rex’s life experience as a commercial fisherman Rex Greeno: Memories through Sea Stories shares a collection of drawings that feature life on and by the sea, his passion for traditional watercraft, and the sharing of Ancestral knowledge and skills passed through generations.

Rex was born and raised on Flinders Island off Lutruwita/Tasmania. His canoes are held in a number of public and private collections throughout Australia, including national and state museums.
