I acknowledge the Tradition Owners, the Cammeraygal people, whose lands I live and work on. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging and celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to the lands and waters of NSW.

I further acknowledge and thank the artists and craftspeople who have worked with compass, straight edge and mark maker in architecture and the decorative arts across cultures and centuries.
