Once Was


Once was is an artist book of works by Australian painter Sarah Parker. The book features poetry by her sister Sue Parker and was commissioned in 2017 to coincide with an exhibition at Clifton School of Arts, New South Wales. Featured through the publication are images from a series titled ’Shipwreck’, inspired by lost ships named after women off the coast of Australia.

Morning Air Studio acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and create, and recognises that sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all First Nations peoples. We recognise their continued connection to the lands, skies, and waters, and thank First Nations peoples for generously sharing their wisdom and knowledge of how to care for Country. We are committed to paying the rent and encourage all non-Indigenous people and organisations who live in so-called Australia to do the same. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
