Sydney artist Liz Payne’s vibrant and distinctive work explores abstraction through colour, shape and form with a combination of mediums -paint, embroidery and beading. With occurring themes of symmetry, symbolism and the power of pattern being explored, the works grab the viewers’ attention and draw them closer to explore the meticulously detailed and intricate textures, layered upon and hand stitched. All her works are designed, painted, hand embroidered and beaded, so each work is one of a kind and a one-off original. Liz’s large scale embroidered artworks, can take months (even years) to complete.   https://www.lizlpayne.com/

 "We are young and free" in the Australian national anthem has been changed to "We are one and free”. This change removes a notion that has presented a challenge for many in uniting behind our national song. The change is small in nature but significant in purpose. It is an acknowledgment that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures date back 65,000 years. It is also an acknowledgement that people who have come across the seas, 250 years ago or more recently, are as much of this nation and our story as any other Australian. https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/changing-the-national-anthem-is-real-reconciliation-20210101-p56r6v.html
