This limited edition print is drawn from Waldron’s 2010 exhibition On the Land, a powerful series that explores characters, sites and stories connected to Kurtjar Country. Inspired by both lived experience and family storytelling, the works trace the cattle and station industry from the 1940s to today. A monochrome palette ties the series together, evoking a sense of timelessness, while flashes of red—like a branding iron or harmonica—hint at deeper emotion. Waldron places his figures within shadowy, ambiguous forms, inviting the viewer to reflect on the unseen forces that bind his people to the land.
Text adapted from Katrina Chapman’s essay The Road to Delta, 2010.
Ian Waldron is a Kurtjar man from the lower Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland. He has worked as an artist in one form or another throughout his life. His early job as a ticket writer sparked a lifelong interest in visual storytelling, teaching him the impact of a well-crafted image. Waldron later studied fine arts and has exhibited in some of Australia's most prestigious art prizes, including the Archibald, Dobell, and Wynne Prizes. He was awarded Best Open Painting at the 1995 National Aboriginal Art Award and won the esteemed Glover Prize for landscape painting in 2010.
Ian’s work stands out for its imaginative blending of Western art traditions with stories of resilience and strength, honouring the achievements of the Kurtjar people in the face of adversity.
Ian is also the artist behind the crocodile design featured in the Ancient Journeys logo and footer—representing a crocodile swimming down the Norman River in Normanton. He also designed the Indigenous crocodile eye, used throughout the website, symbolising connection to Country and culture.
