‘When the Ground Shifts’ brings together a body of work by Wonnarua woman Jaimie Turner, shaped by connection and evolving relationships with Wonnarua Country, Ancestors and lived change. These works emerge from moments of movement, pressure, and transformation, where identity and culture form on shifting ground.

Working across painting, weaving, textiles and sculpture, Turner bridges traditional knowledge with contemporary expression. Her practice honours cultural foundations while embracing personal experience, creative exploration and a deep respect for natural materials.

Connection and Country remain constant shaping forces in Turner’s practice, acknowledging inherited and learned knowledge while allowing space for growth, adaptation and change. Through this balance, the works invite reflection on what holds, what endures, and what can be respectfully reshaped over time. They encourage deeper connection with, and renewed appreciation of, Aboriginal culture as living, dynamic and ongoing.
