Aboriginal Art in Landscape Designs

Glenn Romanis

Glenn Romanis, born in Geelong, is a community artist who has created a diverse portfolio of interesting public artworks with large-scale installations working in textile design, mosaic tiling, paving, murals and painting. His Aboriginal heritage informs his work, which has a strong environmental focus.

'As a working practitioner with over 100 large scale permanent, temporary and ephemeral public and community art project, my career has involved various kinds of media and context but always tries to reveal a deep concern for the relationship between story telling and the environment. My visual stories seek to inform people about the natural and cultural histories that attribute to the experience of country (place), with the aim that they may gain respect, understanding and hopefully a sense of belonging.' -Artist autobiography
